We have had two similar students, who were both deaf in one ear and had
difficulties using a stethoscope. Both have been provided with an electronic
stethoscope through DSA (cost around £350.00) and they have found this
enormously beneficial. We sourced it from the technition within the School
of Nursing and Midwifery.
Best Wishes
