Hi Robert:

This is an area that has been involving over the last several years and presents some interesting options to try, both wired and wireless. Of course would want to check on how privacy regulations relate to storage and transmission. My experience is that particularly in this area users want to try before they buy to see if the technology works with technology they already have and with their particular hearing ranges.

Also, may want to check with your bookstore that serves students in the medical area as they may have something in stock or readily available via a distributor.

Hello all,

I have a student with a hearing impairment enrolled in our summer CNA (Certified nursing Assistant, not Certified Network Administrator) program. She wears hearing aids and cannot put a standard Stethoscope in her ears. Do any of you know of a good accessible Stethoscope? I'm thinking one that fits over the ears, if such a critter exists would probably work.

Thanks.
