PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic stethoscope capable of facilitating auscultation of biological sound regardless of a state of environmental noise.SOLUTION: The electronic stethoscope includes a noise canceller by a DSP (a Digital Signal Processor) 12 for cancelling environmental noise acquired by mixing in the biological sound from a chest piece 1, and eliminates a sound guide tube as a mixing source of the environmental noise. Further a DSP 13 is provided for acoustically cancelling the environmental noise mixed from the vicinity of ear pieces 18 and 19 into the ears. The noise canceller is provided by combining the plurality of means noted above.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
