Why students and educators love Littmann Stethoscopes:

Auditory repetition

Listening accurately for abnormal heart and lung sounds requires practice and repetition.

Audio/visual integration

Research shows that viewing heart and lung sounds while listening -- like you can with the Littmann® CORE Digital Stethoscope and our learning apps -- makes it easier for students to understand what they are hearing.


Self-testing

The ability to assess one's accuracy is key to recognizing when more training is needed. 

Refresher learning

Regularly-scheduled refresher learning for heart and lung sounds keeps your identification skills accurate over time.

Littmann Learning App for students

This powerful app is designed to help users better recognize benign and pathological heart and lung sounds by reinforcing self-directed learning modules directly on your smartphone.

Why we’re different

Compared to other leading stethoscopes, Littmann stethoscopes excel at allowing you to hear sounds at lower frequencies.*

*Based on tests of the Littmann® Cardiology IV™ Stethoscope and Littmann® Classic III™ Stethoscope against globally-available comparable stethoscopes in an equivalent class using recorded heart sounds with diaphragm.
