ThinkLabs One Digital Stethoscope

Comes recommended by an Audiologist

The Think Labs One Digital Stethoscope is the smallest, most powerful stethoscope we know of.  It fits in the palm of your hand, eliminates the hollow tubing, and amplifies over 100 times the original sound.  You can even adjust the range of frequencies by applying pressure from your hand to the diaphragm (more pressure will increase the frequencies heard). The volume can also be adjusted.  It uses a lithium-ion battery, so no need to replace batteries.

We live in a technologically advanced society and those advances are increasing apace.  We also live in a world where the number of people suffering from cardiovascular disease is increasing.  Imagine being able to record and replay this information to your doctor.

With the stethoscope app, you can record and visualize heart sounds on your iPhone or iPad.  You can even email those sounds and images along with notes. With the iMurmur app, you have in your hands a reference library of heart sounds.  Each includes a description of the sounds, where to listen, pathophysiology, and associated pathology.  This is ideal for students, teachers, and those needing a quick refresher.

For those medical professionals with hearing loss, the ThinkLabs One Stethoscope allows you to create a custom solution for listening to that meets your needs.  It can even be connected directly to your hearing aids streamers, t coil, or some other proprietary method to a hearing aid.

Although a t coil is not new, it still is a reliable technology that applies to new gadgets and technology.  If you have t-coils in your hearing aid, then all you need is a t-coil neck loop to connect to the One stethoscope, put your aids in T-coil mode, and off you go, hear the beats you want to hear.

An example of a proprietary connection would be that of the Widex brand hearing aid.   If you had or purchased a Widex Sound Assist device into the stethoscope, the beats would appear in your aids.  This is because the Widex accessory, Sound Assist has the right Bluetooth to connect to the stethoscope.  The heart, lung, or bowels sound will be amplified directly to your hearing aids automatically.  And it sounds great!

It can also be used with your favorite headphones (earbuds, on-ear, or over-ear) via the standard 3.5mm jack.  Add a headphone with an amplifier and better yet, nice and clear.  It is best to use headphones that offer a strong bass (Beats Executive or Bose SoundTrue for example) which is needed to hear heart and lung sounds.

While the price makes this a thoughtful purchase, there is so much more to this digital stethoscope than the iconic tubing style that has been in use for decades.  Each comes with a digital stethoscope, in-ear headphones, connection cables for the stethoscope and iMurmur apps, a USB charger, ear tips, and a carrying case.

We highly recommend this product.  Don’t miss a beat!
