hi I want to start the prerequisites for the Lvn program summer 2017 I want to find out before starting.. is it possible to use theptiscope with hearing aids? I will be getting hearing aids most likely at my next visit. And I honestly do not know how that would work if the two would cooperate together? Also any accommodations/apadtive equipment I should be aware of?
Thsnks in advance.

Self identify to the office for student disabilities. Yes there are adapting stethoscopes. Without knowing your specific needs it's difficult to recommend accommodations.
Thanks I appreciate knowing that! I will self identify with office of disabilities.
My hearing isn't terribly low just low enough in both ears to miss hear things and need hearing aids. I wouldn't want to miss hear especially in life and death situations.

I have moderate high frequency hearing loss bilaterally and wear hearing aids. I have an electronic amplifier for my stethoscope, but I have to remove my hearing aids to use it.
