 Every Thinklabs stethoscope includes a built-in connection and cables for a second set of headphones. You can also connect two Thinklabs stethoscopes together using the supplied cables.
Now you can quickly and easily mentor a student, or request a second opinion while listening to a patient.
As an example of how physicians are creatively extended the use of Thinklabs stethoscopes, physicians are using the second headphone connection to educate their patients. Parents of asthmatic kids can now listen along with the doctor and learn about the sounds of their child's breathing. Doctors are having their patients listen as a way to motivate patients to stop smoking!
Nursing schools are using the second listener feature to teach students how to take accurate blood pressures. Despite hypertension being among the most treated diseases today, blood pressure readings are less accurate than necessary. This causes serious problems for doctors charged with adjusting dosages and monitoring patients. Nursing schools are therefore pro-actively using Thinklabs technology to address this problem.
What you Need
Your Thinklabs stethoscopes comes with the cables you need to connect external headphones or a two Thinklabs stethoscopes. All you need are the external headphones, or two stethoscopes.
The quality of the external headphones is an important factor. Fortunately, many small low-cost headphones used for iPods now come with stethoscope-style sealed eartips. This is critical for listening to the low frequency sounds of a heart murmur. We therefore recommend that you use earbuds that have sealed eartips. If you use larger headphones, test them first to make sure that their bass response is up to the task.
If you use a second Thinklabs Stethoscope, you will guarantee that both listeners hear the absolute clarity for which Thinklabs stethoscopes are know and admired. The loudspeaker drivers in a Thinklabs stethoscope are designed specifically to reproduce the low frequencies in a heart murmur.
