Setup with instructions The stethoscope itself comes fully assembled and works as a basic listening tool right away. Getting the full benefit means installing an app, creating an account, and pairing by Bluetooth. A family member or colleague can do that with the instructions in about half an hour, so it fits guided setup. No clinical fitting is needed.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The Littmann CORE is an electronic stethoscope that amplifies body sounds up to 40x at its peak frequency and uses active noise cancellation to cut background noise. You can switch between normal listening and amplified listening, with seven amplification levels to choose from. It pairs by Bluetooth with the Eko app on iOS or Android, where you can watch sound waveforms live, record and save sounds, or share them for a second opinion. This is a good fit for a clinician with hearing loss who needs more volume to hear heart and body sounds. You'll need your own phone or tablet if you want the app features, since no smart device is included.
