Unique Sound Variations
A sound group might have different variations of a sound. Sounds at the apex may differ from sounds at the base. A sound may vary depending on severity of the pathology. Whatever the variation is, you can toggle between them to listen to each variation.
Side-by-Side Sound Comparison
Some heart sounds sound similar, and differentiating between the two can be difficult. On Auscultate, you can compare sounds side by side by clicking the icon to reveal a list of comparable sounds.
BEYOND THE TEXTBOOKInteractive Content
We learn the fastest and retain information longer when we use multiple formats/mediums for learning. With Auscultate, you interact with the content through sound, images, videos and tacticle feedback with the click of a mouse.
QUIZZESTest Yourself & Train Your Ears
Reinforce & test your hearing comprehension with quizzes. On Auscultate, sounds are radomized and presented to you in multiple choice format, with feedback after each answer so that you can learn from your mistakes.
CLINICAL CORRELATIONSBeyond Sound, Into the Clinic
