Association of Medical Professionals with Hearing Losses (AMPHL) announces "Stethoscope Equity Project". Try before you buy!

 AMPHL - Association of Medical Professionals with Hearing Losses

"We are proud to announce the launch of our Stethoscope Equity Project for students and healthcare professionals with hearing loss! Meeting technical standards for stethoscope use is often a challenge for those with hearing loss in part because of individual differences in hearing and technology (hearing aids, cochlear implants). Many people with hearing loss are not sure what will work best for them and often need assistance that is not usually provided by schools. It may become a long trial-and-error process, which can be frustrating and cost-prohibitive. The Stethoscope Equity Project improves access and promotes professional success by providing consultative information and loaner digital and amplified electronic stethoscopes so users can try them before purchasing.

ID: A flyer for AMPHL's Stethoscope Equity Project. There is a photo of 3 digital/amplified stethoscopes with the project's logo overlaying it. Underneath, the text reads: NOT SURE WHAT STETHOSCOPE WORKS FOR YOU? TRY BEFORE BUYING. The Association of Medical Professionals with Hearing Losses (AMPHL)’s new loaner program can help you decide what to buy. We provide consultative information and access to a collection of digital/amplified stethoscopes so you can try them before purchasing. For a small fee (sliding scale available), you can try a variety of stethoscopes for a year. Please contact us for further information. nancy.rennert@amphl.org. www.amphl.org/stethoscopes"
