The purpose of this research was to describe our method for evaluating electronic stethoscopes relative to a nonelectronic stethoscope.</p><p><strong>Method: </strong>One nonelectronic and eight electronic stethoscopes at maximum volume with their bell and diaphragm modes were acoustically evaluated using digitized heart and breath sounds, a stethoscope speaker pad, and an industry-standard manikin ear simulator.

For each stethoscope, output measurements of digitized heart and breath sounds were recorded in a quiet room.

Stimuli included a 10-s-long spontaneous speech sample spoken by a female talker mixed with a classical music excerpt. The speech level was fixed at 65 dBA, and the music level was varied to achieve three speech-to-background ratios (SBRs; -10, 0, and 10 dB). A hearing aid simulator applied frequency-specific gain for a standard mild-moderate hearing loss with three amplification strategies: (a) conventional DRC-speech and music were compressed with a 50-ms release time after the signals were mixed; (b) independent DRC-speech was compressed with a 50-ms release time, and music was independently compressed with a 4,000-ms release before the signals were mixed; and (c) linear amplification (control condition)-stimuli were processed with linear amplification, before or after mixing.
