Auscultation is one of the most important and fundamental skills for any clinical professional. Through years of training and experience, professionals hone their listening ability and build personal mental libraries of the sounds of the heart, lung, and other organs.

This is especially true for veterinarians for whom auscultation is especially crucial as their patients have no way of verbalizing their conditions and ailments.

It takes a lot of practice to gain proficiency and confidence in auscultation, and having the best tool for the job makes the process a lot easier. This is where a good stethoscope comes in. Practice makes perfect, and a good stethoscope makes perfection attainable.
