I tried searching for information first but came up empty.
I am a new student and am looking for a new scope. I have partial hearing loss and chronic tinnitus. This prevents me from functioning the same way as many others. As such cheap scopes do nothing for me. I have heard great things about the Ultrascope and DRG puretone scopes. I was able to listen with an ultrascope last week and was quite impressed. The breath sounds were loud and clear through a shirt. I could still hear considerable outside noise though. I fear that on scene or in an ambulance i will not be able to hear what I need to. The idea of external noise reduction with the DRG scope intrigues me a great deal but I have not been able to try it.
I ask if any of you have experience with both. Please feel free to give me any insights you may have; especially if you or someone you know has hearing loss and/or tinnitus. I know many of you love your littmanns but they are out of the question for me. I am mostly interested in the two above scopes.
Thanks a lot.
