Access Technology

How does a deaf doctor 'hear' my heartbeat? What kind of mask can someone use if they need to watch their colleagues talk? How can technicians know when analystic tests are complete if they can't hear the buzzer?

Adaptive technologies have expanded opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals in health care and other careers. We have gathered a number of sources with information on many of these technologies (this list is not all-inclusive and is not an endorsement of any one product over another):

• Heart and Lung sound detection devices
• Stethoscopes with Bluetooth to laptop technology
• More information on amplified stethoscopes
