Hearing Impaired Stethoscope

The hearing impaired have often experienced barriers in their desire to enter the medical professions. While universities provide translators and other services to hearing impaired students, the tools of the medical trade have not advanced parallel to these services. The art of auscultation or listening to body sounds to provide a diagnosis has been elusive to the hearing impaired because of poor tools. Cardionics now provides a unique set of stethoscopes that help hearing impaired students learn auscultation and provides a means for hearing impaired physicians and nurse to practice their profession.

The E-Scope for ITE(in-the-ear) type hearing aids is a prime example of what sets Cardionics. apart from its competitors. Few medical companies have addressed the need for stethoscopes for in-the-ear or behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids. Cardionics has created this powerful stethoscope that connects to ITE or BTE aids to provide hearing impaired physicians and nurses with equal opportunities.

Amplify Faint Body Sounds with a Hearing Impaired Stethoscope

The E-Scope provides a comfortable stethoscope experience for medical professionals accustomed to using cumbersome devices. The E-Scope utilizes external low-frequency headphones placed over the user's ear without removing the hearing aid. These stethoscopes feature an output that also allows professionals to record heart and lung sounds to a PDA or PC for later use. A convenient belt clip holds the stethoscope when not in use.

The sound capabilities on this line of stethoscopes depend on your specific needs. Your ability to hear faint heart sounds or discern breathing from heart beats is made easier by an audio range of 20 to 1,000Hz. The maximum sound level on the E-Scope is 127 dB to aid teachers and doctors who have a hard time listening to barely audible sounds.
