Ever Ready First Aid 143200 Dual Head Stethoscope, Black

This is a great buy for a simple stethoscope for high school students who are taking medical courses. The only problem was Amazon delivery throwing the package on the ground at the entrance to my driveway 1/4 mile from my house. They have to at least try to be more professional like FedEx or UPS if they want more orders from me.

It works pretty good 👍

This item gets no stars but I had to give it one to proceed. The box was crushed product loose in the amazon bag. Stethoscope does not work. I would recommend NOT to buy this product. Because it is a stethoscope it is not eligible for return. In this case YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

So I have a kind of bias opinion on this. I am not in the medical field and did not buy this for myself. I got this as a birthday present for my 2 year old because she has a plastic one from the dollar store made for kids but I wanted to get her one that she could actually hear the heart beat instead of making the noise with her mouth. If you ask her she'd definitely give it a 5 star rating the absolute joy that came across her face when I held it to my chest and she heard my heart beat was so pure. But I will say that if I was in the medical field I'd probably rate it a 2 start. It's great for the price and you can hear you're heart beat it's just very quiet so if you need to count beats it's not good for that at all but as a costume or just to have around the house it's absolutely perfect for the price.

At this low price I was very skeptical but decided to try them anyhow. I was not disappointed. I just wanted something for my first aid kit because we live out in the boonies and I wanted to add this to my assessment kit, to help decide when it is time to make the long trek to a medical facility. I don’t think you are going to find a medical professional using these in most circumstances, but for the layperson who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money they will probably suit your needs. Mine came in a box, packaged in zip bags and needed assembly. It is pretty intuitive, but there were no instructions so if there were any little tricks to be missed, I probably missed them. Also, the description says there are extra ear pieces so you can choose the ones that best fit your ear canal but mine had none of these and I would not describe them as comfortable because the plastic is rather hard. I messed with them a bit, pulling the plastic closer to the end of the tubes and that helped a bit. Also, the metal part comes flat and you need to know that you should twist them into the V-shape so they go into the ear canal properly. They must be adjusted properly for comfort and effectiveness. Also, as mentioned in other reviews, the diaphragm is the type that twists, so if you can’t hear anything flip it around until it clicks; one direction gives good sound and the other doesn’t. It flips so you can using either the small side or the large one but must be in the correct position for the one you are using for good results. Quick tip: If you’ve never used a stethoscope before, do yourself a favor and check out some you tube vids. There are some good ones that will tell you how to adjust it for your use and go over the basics of placement points and how the “patient” should breath, etc. There are a few basics you can learn in around 10 minutes that will greatly improve your experience with this tool. So, at this price it is a great value, cheap enough to give kids a real working tool for their first doctor kit, and I think most people who want this kind of extra for their home medical kit would find it satisfactory as well. And I’m guessing the people who say it doesn’t work are people who don’t know how to properly adjust and use the tool.

you can barely hear the heartbeat you have to consistently move it around press it friendly. I’m not quite happy with it, but I can still hear the heartbeat eventually once I move around so I guess I will keep it although the heartbeat is quite faint. It’s still there.

My niece loves this! When she comes to visit, she always plays with my nursing stethoscope. This is great for her to play with still can hear a heartbeat and breathing and it’s good for her to learn.

Works perfect. I use it to listen to my babies hearts.
