The E-Scope clinic model utilises modern electronic circuitry to amplify heart, breath and Korotkoff sounds so they become much easier to hear. The sound is pure and clean. Compared to acoustic stethoscopes, murmurs and faint blows are much more distinguishable. 

The E-Scope Clinic Model is suitable for use in general clinical medicine by medical professionals,  paramedics for ambulance use, isolation wards and Hazmat areas and cervical auscultation (speech pathology). It is primarily aimed at clinicians for general medical use and also those who have mild hearing loss.

Important note for BTE users. Not all hearing aids will allow the low frequencies of heart and breath sounds to be heard. Heart sounds frequencies range from 20-650Hz and lung sounds from 70-2000Hz. The first and second heart sounds have a frequency of approximately 70-100Hz. 

Murmurs range from approximately 150-400Hz. Your hearing aid MUST be able to not only hear frequencies in the 100Hz area, but be able to reproduce them. You should discuss this with your audiologist prior to purchasing a hearing aid.

Cardionics maintains a list of hearing aids that have low frequency characteristics. Drop us an email and we will be happy to send it to you.

Option 1 For ITE Hearing Aids £428.88 inc VAT

The E-Scope Hearing Impaired Belt Model Stethoscope is designed for the hearing impaired user, or for people tired of putting ear tips in their ears. If you wear in the ear (ITE) hearing aids you can use the high quality lightweight headphones (shown above) included over your ears.

If you use behind the ear hearing aids there are several solutions we can offer.

Option 2 For behind the ear (BTE) hearing aids using Direct audio input (DAI) cable. Escope with one DAI cable £464.13 inc VAT. Escope with dual DAI cable £481.75 inc VAT.

Use the stethoscope model above together with a  cable for one ear or two ears which is connected from the E-Scope to the audio shoe of your hearing aid (not supplied). Your audiologist will have to supply the audio shoe.  The audio shoe snaps onto the hearing aid. The DAI cable is inserted into the audio shoe and is connected to the  “Sounds output” of the E-Scope.

Option 3 Silhouette (induction coil) for BTE hearing aids. Escope with one silhouette £599.25 inc VAT. Escope with dual silhouette £622.75 inc VAT.

Use the stethoscope model above with a silhouette (induction coil) which can be connected to the E-Scope for one or both ears.  The silhouette has worked well in many situations with BTE hearing aids. The Silhouette is generally more powerful than a direct audio input. This is a small, flat plastic device that loops behind the ear between the BTE and the head and is worn only when using the stethoscope.  Turn the BTE to the “Telecoil” position when using the silhouette cord (induction coil).

Option 4 Large Over The Ear Headphones       We can supply a set of large headphones that cover the entire ear and the BTE hearing aid.  T These have worked well in many cases and fold up for ease of carrying.

E-scope EMS Model £468.88 inc VAT.

All the controls for volume breath sound and heart sound filters are on the head of the stethoscope as well as on the aviation-style headphones making it easy for the user to adjust the volume or filter.
