Hello and thank you for the response. I am using a amplified stethoscope and
other great devices that has been provided by Vocational Rehab in my state. This
organization is great for helping me be able to continue to work and fulfill my
lifes dream of being a nurse. I posted that message to be able to correspond
with other folks in the field with the same problems. I will be glad when
someone invents a stethoscope that is bluetooth compatible so it will hook right
into my icom. that would be awesome!
Again, thanks and keep in touch.
Carol

I worked for many years as an EMT. I have hearing loss bilaterally. I wear
hearing aids. I used a cardiology stethoscope to hear BP,lung sounds and the
rest. They do have an amplified stethoscope made for people with hearing loss
but its expensive. I couldn't afford the thing. One thing that I always did was
tell the people I worked with that I had hearing loss. I then told them to
always make sure I gave them a verbal answer to any question they asked me so no
miscommunitcation would happen. Sure I had people that didn't want to work with
me but that was their loss not mine. I had many good partners.
