Electronic stethoscopes allow doctors and nurses to amplify, monitor, record and even e-mail sounds from their patients’ hearts, lungs, arteries and other areas of the body. Electronic stethoscopes offer better acoustic performance than standard stethoscopes.

Electronic stethoscopes allow doctors and nurses to adjust the volume when listening to a patient with faint heart or lung sounds. Electronic stethoscopes are often operated by batteries, and are easy to adjust for sound quality. Electronic stethoscopes differ from acoustic stethoscopes because they amplify the body sounds, offering increased acoustic performance.

Electronic stethoscopes look like regular acoustic stethoscopes except for the control box located on the tubing portion. The control box allows doctors to adjust volume levels, capture sounds, and monitor the listening experience.

Electronic stethoscopes are the wave of the future and might soon completely replace regular acoustic stethoscopes. Electronic stethoscopes are a must-have tool for any modern medical practice.

Sanitary covers for the diaphragm and bell portions of the electronic stethoscopes are available and should be used to maintain a cleaner and safer environment.

Electronic stethoscopes, like standard acoustic stethoscopes, either contain a diaphragm or a bell. The diaphragm vibrates when there are sounds from the body, while the bell picks up vibrations from the skin.

One side of the disposable stethoscope is a flat membrane (the diaphragm or bell) that is pressed against the patient’s chest and picks up the sounds inside. The sounds are then carried through the tubing to the doctor or nurses’ ears. The electronic aspect of the stethoscope amplifies those sounds.
