“I work in Respiratory so hearing breath sounds correctly is pivotal to treating my patients. My Eko Core attachment has been a game changer. I can more easily pick up minute lung sounds making the difference between a patient getting and albuterol neb or lasix. The reason it got 4 instead of 5 stars is the power button. Thanks to COVID and keeping things easliy cleanable. I keep my stethoscope in my pocket. (I used to be the cool kid with it around my neck using a stethoscope cover.) Every time I pull my stethoscope out, its already on so I have to charge it more often. The volume is controlled by soft touch buttons, why can't the power button be soft touch as well.”

“This is my second EKO Core. I replaced the first one because the battery no longer holds a charge and that’s after 4 years of IM / hospitalist duty. It’s paired to a Masters Cardiology with brass finish and I love it. I’ve identified countless murmurs on physical exam and not only that but the murmurs are easily gradable (if anyone cares anymore). The attachment is durable too. It’s taken countless purple / orange / white bottled wipes with no lasting effects. Haven’t used the app but I think it’s worth a look. I’d love an upgraded model with USB-C charge port, wireless charging, built-in filters for cardiac vs pulm auscultation, a way to swap out spent batteries / equip an extended battery pack. If these were added, I’d keep upgrading this model as if it were last season’s iPhone even if battery life wasn’t decreased I don’t really care for a. fib detection at this time, as hearing an irregularly irregular heart beat on physical exam is good enough for me”

“I work in EMS. I have had an amazing experience using my echo. Amplification works wonderfully without serious distortion even when running lights and sirens on the freeway. My only suggestion is tracking (like find my phone) cause yeah was stolen right off my stretcher at an ER. Saving up to buy another!”

“Game changer for me especially being a third year medical student. I was struggling to hear mainly heart sounds with my MDF and Littman, especially with any bit of background noise. I put this amp on my MDF 797, and the difference is like talking to someone under water vs out of the water. Like a normal stethoscope, its best on skin and not clothes, but now I can hear through clothes if need be. I have caught more murmurs for my residents and attendings than I thought existed in the general population. Be cognizant that normal heart sounds may sound abnormal if you crank the volume way up at first just because you are hearing every little bit of the heart sounds that are there including the really quiet parts that you would not otherwise hear on a non-digital stethoscope. The app also works really well with my Samsung S22. I was not sure what to expect as bluetooth devices often can have connectivity issues and what not. But, the app connects within 5 seconds, and the auscultogram has no lag. I also tried using the stethoscope through the app with my bluetooth Bose noise cancelling earbuds and that works flawlessly ass well. Battery lasts at least a month, maybe longer. I have charged it once or twice since I got it 4 months ago, using it probably 10x per day for CV, pulm, GI exam, and both times, it was only down to 40 or 50% - was not actually low on battery.”

“I like it but it makes the stethoscope a little too long. Took me a little bit to figure out how to hold the tubing tight while bouncing in an ambulance”

“The amplification and the visual aid on my phone makes it so much easier to hear and detect any issues.”
