  • I have a hearing impairment and cannot perform auscultation. Can I use Nexstetho for auscultation?
    Since the degree of disability varies from person to person, some people seem to benefit from it while others do not. However, there have been reports of nurses with cochlear implants who have been able to hear again with Nexstetho. Please consult your specialist. I was so happy and moved to tears because it brought back the nostalgic feeling I had when I was healthy.
  • Can hear ambient sounds, but cannot hear heartbeat
    Depending on the situation, try the following If you feel the heartbeat is weak, press the I button on the Nexstetho main unit. Pressing the Ⅰ button will enter a mode that makes it easier to hear the heartbeat. Make sure that the chest piece is securely installed all the way to the back with no gaps or wobbling. Please use the supplied O-rings and tubes to adjust the fit. If you cannot hear the heartbeat completely, the direction of the chestpiece opening may be reversed. Please remove the chestpiece from Nexstetho once, turn the middle shaft, and then put it back.
  • Strong feedback and cannot be heard through the speakers.
    The tips to avoid feedback are as follows. Place the speaker at a distance from the main body of Nexstetho. Place the speaker facing backward. Wrap the main body of the speaker in a towel, etc. Heartbeats and other sounds are low frequency and can be heard even when wrapped in a towel. In this environment, we hope you will try to increase the volume of the speakers as needed.
