Question

Are there any Bluetooth-enabled amplified stethoscopes available?

Answer

There are several companies working on introducing Bluetooth-enabled amplified stethoscopes but there do not appear to be any commercially available at this time that I am aware of;one of the products includes the Freedom Scope which is scheduled for product production sometime in mid 2011. It appears that most of the wireless designs, however, are incorporating the standard earpieces of traditional stethoscopes and it remains unclear as to what practical solution these companies will offer in terms of an option for hearing instrument wearing professionals.
