Achieving Best Audio Quality from MedWand Stethoscope.

Achieving Best Audio Quality from MedWand Stethoscope.

The MedWand is engineered to capture and deliver accurate stethoscope sounds. To make the most of it:

  • Use high‑quality headphones (over‑ear or low‑frequency‑response earbuds) for clearer playback.

  • Ensure a snug fit so external noise is minimized.

  • Recordings themselves are always unaltered, but some device “enhancements” may change how you hear them.


Audio Enhancements: What You Need to Know

Many operating systems include features—Dolby Atmos, sound enhancers, equalizers, UHQ upscalers—that boost volume or tweak frequency response. These do not change the underlying MedWand recording, but they can introduce distortion, mask subtle murmurs, or alter timbre in ways that make clinical interpretation harder. If you notice unexpected artifacts or muffled tones, disabling or adjusting these settings is recommended.


How to Disable or Adjust Enhancements

Below are links to official help articles for the most common platforms. You can simply link your users to these pages rather than embedding full menu instructions in your article.

          For other Android models, look under Settings > Sound or Accessibility > Sound enhancements, or search your OEM’s support site for “audio enhancements.”


Testing Audio Quality

To ensure you’re hearing MedWand recordings exactly as intended, this quick check will help you decide whether to leave your system’s audio enhancements on or off.

Quick Test Steps

  1. Play the Heart recording with enhancements ON. Note clarity and any distortion.

  2. Play the Heart recording with enhancements OFF. Note clarity and any distortion.

  3. Repeat steps 1–2 using the Lung recording.

Select the enhancement state (ON or OFF) that gives you the clearest sound with the fewest artifacts.
