Can you use stethoscopes with hearing aids?


when I served in operation enduring freedom as a combat refueler/combat life-saver I damaged my hearing while sitting next to the pump on the tanker. I became a medic when I got out of the army now I am suppose to get one hearing aid in my left ear..(the right one still doesn't need one) can you use stethoscopes with hearing aids? do you need a special stethoscope?

I like this idea thanks for the help!

A BTE earmold can be modified with a dimple (or well) in the heel of the earmold that will accept the stethoscope eartip. It centers the sound outlet of the stethoscope with the vent hole in the earmold, allowing the sound to go more directly into the ear canal

You do need a special stethoscope. The coolest new ones use bluetooth (i.e. the stethscope broadcasts the heartbeat using bluetooth, and your hearing aid picks it up automatically)

More traditional options are discussed at the URLs I have attached below.

I think you can use stethoscopes with no problem, but you should be careful nobody shouts into your left ear through the stethos!
