Stethoscope good, app not as much – Eko: Digital Stethoscope + ECG Review

The stethoscope itself is really clear and loud. Recording is good but listening on headphones still doesn’t seem good and much too quiet. I can barely hear with my headphones even with noise cancellation and the volume turned up all the way. Bluetooth headphone transmission has been cited as a limiting factor by Eko, yet they also show this setup as a workable solution on their website. I think a big problem is not transmitting sound at all- any way to increase the sensitivity of what triggers a transmission? I keep placing my stethoscope on patients and and I can hear the audio clipping based on volume. I think this system is good as long as you don’t rely on an app. Hardware is good though.
