5. Check the Seal
An airtight seal is essential to sound transmission. Anything from cracked tubing to improperly seated eartips can prevent a proper seal.
TUNABLE TECHNOLOGY

Littmann invented tunable technology so you could hear different sounds just by the amount of pressure applied to the chestpiece. No more unscrewing and changing diaphragms and bells, turning over, or repositioning the chestpiece.
LOW-FREQUENCY SOUNDS
- Light pressure
- Keep chestpiece suspended
HIGH-FREQUENCY SOUNDS
- Firm pressure
- Diaphragm movement restricted
- Low frequency sounds blocked
