Which stethoscope do you prefer?


I have friends who love ultrascopes and others who swear by Littmanns. Any suggestions at all would be helpful!

I prefer Littmanns. My friend has an Ultrascope (which I have used) and I can hear a lot better with my Littmann.

Personally, if I had friends that had ultrascopes and friends who had Littmanns....I think I'd try each of them and see what worked for me best. It's such a personal decision. There's no "BEST" steth, it's what works best for you.

Best of luck!

Peace,

I have a stethoscope by CardioMart. I works just fine and was not expensive. Personally I would not pay the money for a Littmann as they inevitably get lost or stolen.
