My initial start with the core was not a good start. The first device they me would not stay on long enough to complete an exam nor could I hear anything when the device was off. Their customer service was fantastic and they had a replacement sent out very quickly. I’ve been using the replacement for a month now and for now I’m impressed. The battery lasts more than a week with my usual usage. The noise cancelling function works well and the amplification works very well with my DLX scope. I’m very happy with my purchase and with Eko’s customer service.

I have been using the Core for a couple of weeks now. It definitely takes some getting used to with the louder and therefore somewhat different sounds on auscultation. I did pick up a murmur that I never would have heard otherwise. Seems like a good piece so far. Discreet enough that doesn’t look particularly out of place.

I have used the first generation This is smaller sleeker and less extraneous noise Is there a reason that the attachment has to be so close to the chest piece other than it would require you to cut the tubing on the stethoscope The attachment invariably touches the skin and I have been disinfecting the stethoscope in between patients and I hope it holds up The competition has been advertising that their scope has been cleared for all disinfectants (Think Scope) Also you should have provided an attachment to plug into the wall rather than just Providing a usb cable as I often leave it in an exam room Anthony G LENDINO MD

Just got the Eko attachment. Added to my Welch Allyn Harvey Elite Stethoscope. It really amplifies the sounds. Turn off and hear the difference. Great tool to have. Ron V.

I am an RN in a surgical stepdown unit. I mention this to preface my view and the biggest positive change that could be made for my use. How I utilize the EKO in practice is once I assess without amplification, I make a second pass with amplification to catch or better assess the patient's condition. The feature I find both most useful BUT inconvenient to use is the ability through the app to isolate heart and lung sounds. In practice, it is not the most convenient to pull out my phone and switch between settings. This brings me to my one change I would make. As I have no use for the recording feature, if it were possible to update the firmware of the device that would allow me to cycle through the sound isolation settings directly on the device via the record button this device would be perfect. It could even alert you which setting it was on via the LED red/cardiac blue/pulmonary. Perhaps not possible but one can dream. Fantastic device regardless.

I am a soon to be nursing student with severe hearing loss. I wear bilateral hearing aids and using a stethoscope just wasn't possible for me. When I found EKO and purchased the Core Digital Attachment, they made it possible for me to use a stethoscope. I can hear through my stethoscope very loud and clear and the noise cancellation is just awesome. The product made me extremely emotional in a good way and I am thrilled that I stumbled across EKO. Thank you EKO for making it possible to use stethoscopes for people with disabilities like me. I HIGHLY recommend this product to you if you are reading this.
