I am in desperate need of a new stethoscope.....I had an ultrascope but it broke after less than a year....
What stethoscope is your favorite???
Thanks!

Littmann anything!
I used to have a Littmann Classic and loved it. But the stethoscope didn't feel the same, as it grew legs and walked off on me. Now I use a Littmann Master Classic II and love this one, too. Very good hearing quality in both stethoscopes.

www.steeles.com has the best service and prices.
You will do quite well with the Littmann Master Cardiology II, as has been said. I'm mildly hearing impaired and do fine with it. Plus, it has the diaphragm AND bell.

I love my Littman master classic II. I used my first one all through nursing school and my first 5 years of nursing then had to get a new one since mine had a crack in it.
