Trips to the doctor can be very frightening for young children and all the explaining in the world doesn't seem to help reassure them. The diaphragms, non-chill bell sleeve, and eartips may be removed, if necessary, for thorough cleaning. Ensure all parts and surfaces are dry before reassembly. To remove an eartip, grasp the eartip firmly using the thumb and forefinger of one hand and pull sharply away from the eartube while holding the eartube in the other hand. To attach the eartips, push the small side firmly onto the eartube until it snaps fully into place. To prevent ear canal injury, be sure eartips are firmly attached to the headset before inserting them into your ears. To prevent stethoscope damage, do not: immerse your stethoscope in any liquid, subject your stethoscope to any sterilization process (e.g., autoclaving, liquid chemical sterilization), or store in extreme heat.

The stethoscope is a medical device for auscultation, or listening to internal sounds of an animal or human body. It typically has a small disc-shaped resonator that is placed against the skin, with either one or two tubes connected to two earpieces. A stethoscope can be used to listen to the sounds made by the heart, lungs or intestines, as well as blood flow in arteries and veins. In combination with a manual sphygmomanometer, it is commonly used when measuring blood pressure. The best stethoscope for nurses seems to be the 3M Littmann Classic, trusted by many medical professionals.
