Subject: Re: Amplified Stethoscopes
Yes they can be obtained through DSA. The hard part is
dertermining which stethoscope is suitable. The wrong one could
cause (further) damage to the ears. You might try the supplier PC
Werth : 020 8 675 5151 but you may find that they require a
prescription from a qualified professional. The hospital should
know where to get the assessment, as for the most part the
stethoscopes will be supplied to senior doctors who have lost
hearing through old age, probably.
