Are they as good as regular stethos? I've heard a lot about them being just as good and in fact easier to learn and work with.

Your opinions?

I have no idea what those are. I just use a regular (traditional) stethoscope.

I wouldn't use them. You're going to miss out on training your ears.

I think it would be good as a teaching tool...it would be good to hear a recorded heart sound first to understand the different from a normal heart sound, but that is as far as i would take it. I wouldn't use it on a day to day basis...its seems too clunky.

Like me, I think this guy is severely deaf. He has a cochlear implant. I havent heard much about these. I would try your school store to see if they have any. If not you should be able to order one anyway, just make sure you ask about the return policy. I like my e-scope, its nice. I tried it out before I bought it, I tried the others they had at the school store too, but I couldnt hear jack. I just gotta cling to the bish like woh.

From our hearing counterparts, they claim the e scope is loud as hell. given our problems it should do us just fine. I got the littmann 4000. A regular stet is badd for your implant right? Oh yeah I just thot for the visual/graphic, check your ENT, or audiologist (a longshot, audiologists dont know jack) as they may have one

That's right, I do have a cochlear implant and that's why I'm asking about graphic auscultation. Would you use it if you were in my situation? It sounds (no pun intended) as if it would work just as well, but I was trying to gauge others' opinions. Nobody here seems to have used them though?
