Abstract
The objective test method described accurately defines the transmission acoustics of intact stethoscopes worn by human subjects. Mechanical stethoscopes possess uneven frequency responses, characterized by areas of true amplification alternating with areas of sound attenuation in an undulating pattern. The acoustics of any stethosocpe will reflect the acoustics of human ears when it is worn, but individual differences are small.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
