This is fantastic!

Loved your video! One of the things I really like about the Littmann Eko Core is that it has automated detection of arrythmias and murmus. Looks like you made this video before those AI based analyses became available. I was thinking strongly of switching out ot a Thinklabs One, but unless Thinklabs has AI, the added functionality of the Littmann is too nice.

Good job

[@healthyhearingloss9953]

Thanks!

Love the video! I am just getting into hearing aids. I hear low frequencies still fairly well, and my audiologist has recommended behind the ear hearing aids with Bluetooth. Question - can you connect the think labs on on your phone with the 3.5 cable then bluetooth to your hearing aids?

[@healthyhearingloss9953]

Unfortunately the Thinklabs has no bluetooth capabilities (they had a bluetooth adaptor that I do not recommend and I don't think they sell it anymore). You can connect directly to the Thinklabs with a cable though (you probably already know that :)).
I will be creating a video on the Stemosocpe stethoscope soon. It has bluetooth. I just received it 2 weeks ago but have been on vacation and haven't had a chance to use it enough to do a review right now. So stay tuned. :)

Hi, how long do you think littmann core will last before any defect? Have u had any problems with the eko attachment you bought earlier? Thank you 🙏

[@healthyhearingloss9953]

Hi Adriel, I have used the Littmann CORE for over 2 years now and have had no issues with it up to this point. even the battery life is really good, I charge it every other day and still it hasn't died on me. I have the attachment as a backup but had not had to use it because the CORE has stood up.

[@alexanderadriel]

@@healthyhearingloss9953 thank you for your kind reply. I've been worrying a lot since I ordered it to Indonesia while it doesnt have international warranty, so I just have to hope it lasts quite long.

[@user-kn7dh4zq3h]

The only problem of thinklab is the durability,I think it doesn’t have good durability vs core.

[@healthyhearingloss9953]

thank you for your feedback. This is good to know :)
