Abnormal lung sounds can be difficult to assess. Littmann® Stethoscopes can help you hear more clearly, but ultimately it is up to you to recognize whether those sounds are normal or abnormal.
The more you hear abnormal sounds, the easier it is to recognize them. We have provided examples of normal and abnormal lung sounds to aid your recognition. Listening to these recordings will refresh your knowledge and understanding of common lung pathologies.
