What is amplified in a stethoscope?
An amplified stethoscope is an instrument that is used by hearing-impaired medical professionals and students. It is an Assistive Listening Device (ALD) that allows them to hear the sounds of their patient’s hearts, lungs and other systems of the body when necessary.
What are the advantages of a digital stethoscope?
A digital stethoscope is able to convert an acoustic sound to electronic signals, which can be further amplified for optimal listening. These electronic signals can be further processed and digitalized to transmit to a personal computer or a laptop.
Are digital stethoscopes accurate?
Overall, electronic stethoscopes are great for specialized fields including cardiology and/or critical care settings. The ability to amplify and adjust frequencies makes electronic stethoscopes excellent tools when precise assessments are vital to patient health.
What is Stemoscope?
Stemoscope transmits the sounds to the smartphone via Bluetooth. The phone processes and amplifies the sounds and sends them to Bluetooth earphones, Bluetooth hearing aids or wired earphones, in real time.
How does a wireless stethoscope work?
