I am already hard of hearing so it can be extra tough to listen to a patient's heart or lung sounds when in a loud environment with IV lines beeping or telemetry monitors going off.
I decided to create my own line of stethoscopes with these features:
1. Dual-sided stainless steel chest-piece: ultra sensitive high & low frequency capability
2. Sound blocking: thick, latex tubing to block out external noises
3. Comfort: comfortable and soft ear tips
4. Usability: pediatric side (3.6 cm) and adult side (4.5 cm)
5. Stylish: both the pink and blue stethoscope come with a multicolored hue chest-piece and ear tubes.
