Introduction: Description for using stethoscopes adapted to hearing aids.

Aim: To describe the adaptation of HAs to stethoscopes used by 2 students in the health field with bilateral hearing impairment.

Case reports: Two subjects with hearing loss had their stethoscopes coupled to HAs because of the individual requirements of their professions (healthcare) to perform auscultation.

Conclusion: The improvement was measured in situ, and satisfaction was evaluated using a subjective questionnaire. The use of a stethoscope coupled to an HA allowed students with hearing loss to perform auscultation.
