Why take chances and work with pricey goodies? I found that sawing off one earpiece and attaching a plastic timepiece eliminated mostly the need for a doctor in the room, and made unlikely the acquisition of my generic-looking stethoscope by a hurried, near sighted ME. The kids think that foam ear is a riot. |

Normal stethoscopes are binaural (use both ears), but the sound reaching both ears comes from the same membrane or bell. |

A mechanics version could be useful for locating hard to find noises. |

Yes, most stethoscopes are binaural, and the sound comes from one bell/diaphragm. The sound also comes from ONE HEART. A double-belled stethoscope would do nothing more than introduce confusing sounds to a physician which she has never heard before. At least we have consistency with our current Littman IIIs. And, btw, Multiple #6: baked. There's an electronically amplified version for the heard of hearing and/or persnickety cardiologists. |

There certainly is a stereophonic stethoscope. In fact it has been in existence for 10 years now. It has a totally 2-channelized structure from the chestpiece up to the ear-pieces, enabling one to hear stereophonic auscultatory sounds, both cardiac and pullmonary. It has been acclaimed by doctors world-wide. If you wish more information on this stethoscope, please visit the URL <www.mmjp.or.jp/stethoscope> Thank you. |
