What is a Listening Stethoscope?
A listening stethoscope is a device used by hearing healthcare professionals to listen to a hearing aid for the purpose of assessing the hearing aid’s performance and adjustments/repairs. It is a small, handheld device that has a bell or diaphragm on one end and two earpieces on the other end. The bell or diaphragm is placed over the hearing aid, and the audiologist listens through the earpieces to hear the sound that is being amplified by the hearing aid.
