Listening to sounds of internal organs by amplifying them with an instrument began in the

19th century. In 1816, the Frenchman Rene Theophile Hyacinthe Laennec invented a
wooden tube which was capable of isolating the organic noises from the surrounding
environment and making them louder. He heard these with only one ear. Later, two hollow
tubes were used so that the sounds could be heard with both ears. Laennec made two kinds
of stethoscope; one was a hollow tube to examine the thorax and the other, a solid tube for
examining the heart. The first type developed into two models – one was cylindrical and
was used to listen to changes in the voice, the second was widened at the auricular end to
listen to breathing and rattles in the throat.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT FUNCTION HAS THE STETHOSCOPE
listening to the internal sounds of an animal or human body

DO YOU KNOW WHEN STETHOSCOPE WAS CREATED?

In 1816
I WONDER WHO INVENTED STETHOSCOPE.

Frenchman Rene
I DON’T KNOW IF LAENNEC MADE TWO KINDS OF STETHOSCOPE

one was a hollow tube to examine the thorax and the other, a solid tube for examining the
heart
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHY LAENNEC INVENTED.
Laennec invented the stethoscope because he was uncomfortable placing his ear on
women's chests to hear heart sounds
