5 Ways the Eko CORE 500™ Digital Stethoscope Transforms Exams for Healthcare Providers with Hearing Loss

As a healthcare professional, your ability to accurately assess patients is paramount. However, hearing loss can pose significant challenges, especially when using traditional stethoscopes.

The Eko CORE 500™ Digital Stethoscope is designed to bridge this gap, ensuring you don't miss a critical sound. Here’s how the CORE 500™ helps you hear more, diagnose with confidence, and provide the best care possible.

1

40x Amplification: Hear What You’ve Been Missing

Traditional stethoscopes aren’t designed for clinicians with hearing loss. The CORE 500™ amplifies body sounds up to 40 times, allowing you to hear even the faintest murmurs, lung crackles, or abnormal rhythms with crystal-clear precision.

Whether you have mild or significant hearing loss, this game-changing amplification ensures every sound is loud and clear.

2

Active Noise Cancellation: Focus on What Matters

In a noisy hospital or clinic, background sounds can drown out critical heart and lung sounds. The CORE 500™’s active noise cancellation isolates the patient's body sounds, filtering out environmental distractions.

Whether you’re in a busy ER, a loud ICU, or a home visit setting, you’ll hear exactly what you need without interference.

3

Seamless Integration with Hearing Aids & Bluetooth Devices

Wearing hearing aids with a traditional stethoscope can be frustrating and limiting. The CORE 500™ solves this by connecting wirelessly to your hearing aids, Bluetooth headphones, or speakers via the Eko App.

This seamless integration allows you to stream sounds directly into your preferred listening device, ensuring a comfortable and effective auscultation experience — no workarounds needed.

4

Visual Waveforms: See What You Hear

Sometimes hearing alone isn’t enough. With the Eko App’s real-time phonocardiogram display, you can see heartbeats and lung sounds as waveforms, reinforcing what you hear with a visual representation.

This dual-sensory approach helps confirm diagnoses, reduce uncertainty, and improve accuracy, especially for those with progressive or high-frequency hearing loss.

5

AI-Supported Confidence in Every Diagnosis

Worried about missing a murmur or AFib? The CORE 500™ is supported by Eko AI that instantly analyzes heart sounds and flags potential murmurs and AFib in real time.

Instead of second-guessing what you heard (or didn’t hear), let Eko AI assist in detecting abnormalities, giving you objective clinical insights. The result? More confidence, better accuracy, and peace of mind knowing that technology has your back.
