Modern stethoscopes consist of a shallow bell-shaped device with a clear stiff diaphragm, connected to the ear pieces by flexible tubing and a hollow metal headset. The chest piece is placed directly on the patient's skin. As the patient takes deep breaths or the heart beats, sounds are amplified through the diaphragm or bell. These amplified sounds travel through the hollow flexible tubing and headset, finally reaching the examiner's ears through the tight-fitting earpieces. At this point the examiner can describe and assess the sounds they heard and apply them to their diagnoses and treatment.
