Abstract
A power stethoscope with integrated speaker includes a compact main body that houses a microphone, a speaker and a sound funnel. The sound funnel has a cap along the bottom end that permits the passage of sound waves for capture by the microphone. A control unit having a processor, a memory and a digital filter is communicatively linked to the microphone and speaker. The memory can record the microphone output, and a communication can transmit the same to an external device.
