Stethoscope recommend: "deafening environment/good thru clothing" models any accurate?

Used Littman lightweight model, with tubing cut down to increase nouns sensitivity. But I've been out of the workforce for a few years, and can use a "better" freedom to help out these middle-aged rock-and-roll ears.....Assessing bowel, breath, and routine run-of-the-mill heart sounds; nil extraordinary (med-surg RN).

Am not a candidate for a audible range aid (YET--smile) and hadn't PLANNED on a cardiology-class or battery-amplified 'scope.

What experiences have y'all have with things resembling the Ultrascope (not a Littman) or other "noisy environment"/"moral through clothing" scopes? (They seem to typically be single-headed and pressure-sensitive.)

Figuring on spending something resembling $100 USD (or less) for an upgrade, but didn't want to get some trendy toy that didn't work.
OTOH, figure paramedics/EMTs/similar probably had plenty to read aloud about obedient, economical scopes that worked under horribly adverse conditions....

Feedback from adjectives levels of users appreciated!


Answers:    A steth is never really thoroughly good through clothing. Too muffled and too tons extraneous rubbing sounds. Plus, you can't use the bell at all afterwards.

I use and recommend the Harvey Elite by Welch-Allyn.
