Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a stethoscope device for allowing a large number of people to listen to music at the same time.

Doctors and others use stethoscopes to auscultate fools as part of their medical treatment in hospitals and clinics, but at this time the stethoscope can only be heard by the person concerned, and cannot be used by anyone else. For example, at a university medical school, a professor provides clinical training to students.
Students are observing the professor's examination. therefore,
The students were unable to open the stethoscope while the professor was listening, and the students took turns auscultating before or after the professor, which took a long time and caused considerable pain to the student. There is. In addition, at university hospitals, it is important for many doctors and students to be able to listen to the same stethoscope at the same time, such as during clinical lectures and training sessions held in front of patients, or staff meetings where treatment policies are decided. To this end, a device that allows a large number of people to simultaneously open stethoscopes during auscultation is needed for medical education and team medical care.

Traditional stethoscopes have had a trumpet-shaped sound collection part that comes into contact with the patient's body, and in order to improve the sensitivity and quality of the sound, efforts have been made to cover it with a membrane or change its shape.

However, in the end, the principle remained the same: the sound from this sound collection part passed through the tube as air vibrations, and the air vibrations were transmitted directly to the ears, where we listened.

This invention allows a stethoscope to be attached to a microphone or a wireless microphone, connected to a receiver, an amplifier, a recorder, or a computer, and used for listening by one person or many people using earphones or wireless earphones that connect the stethoscope to the amplifier. It is intended as an auscultation device.

A high-sensitivity microphone is attached to the trumpet-shaped sound collecting section or sound conducting tube of the stethoscope, and this is connected to an amplifier. Listen to the stethoscope using earphones connected to this amplifier. This makes it possible to amplify weak, low-pitched sounds that are difficult to hear, making them easier to hear. Also, other people around you can hear the same sound at the same time by connecting earphones to this amplifier. By pairing earphones and a microphone and connecting these to an amplifier, the examining doctor and other people, or each other, can talk. The number of earphones and microphones can be increased by adding a mixer and increasing the power of the amplifier. In addition, by connecting this device to a recorder or computer, you can easily play back and listen to it later, use it as a teaching material, or organize and save it.

Furthermore, in order to make this device wireless, a wireless microphone is attached to the stethoscope, and the user listens to the stethoscope using wireless earphones via a receiver, amplifier, and transmitter. Also, other people around you can hear the same sound at the same time by using wireless earphones. By pairing wireless earphones with a wireless microphone, a doctor and other people or other people can talk to each other via a receiver, amplifier, and transmitter. The number of earphones and microphones can be increased by adding a mixer and increasing the power of the amplifier.

Furthermore, by connecting this device to a recorder or computer, the material can be easily played back and listened to later, used as a teaching material, or stored in an organized manner.
