Listening to hearts over Skype

Who has done heart listening over Skype? I have connected with three women recently who let me listen to their hearts over Skype and was able to hear them very clearly, about as good as listening with my stethoscope. Any women here who would like to share their hearts over Skype?

I've only listened through Skype. A lot of women I've corresponded with in the past have enjoyed sharing their heartbeats on Skype.

Skype is a great forum to use and usually works great for heart exams and listening sessions

I've had a few good auscultation sessions over Skype. The quality of the heart sounds depends very much on how the patient has their sound input setup. With a good quality stethoscope connected to a good microphone you can hear a lot of detail.

Another factor is server quality, which varies from call to call. Sometimes the audio quality is poor for one or both parties, but most of the time it seems pretty good. Usually hanging up and redialing helps if you have a noisy or otherwise poor audio connection.

Skype seems to filter out part of the sound as background noise. Also, since going to windows 10 there's a sound setting I keep having to reset to allow the microphone to record full volume sound. I prefer the HBP sound plugin as that actually works.

Skype is hit or miss depending on internet bandwidth of the connections on both sides

I've had some really great experiences listening to someone's heart over skype and sharing mine. Sometimes its really great to see the other person and sometimes its nice to just listen.

I've had a bunch of good experiences. The sound quality is pretty good for me and you can even set it up so you can listen to someone else while they listen to you. I just need more skype partners.

How do you share your heartbeat over Skype? Do you have to show your face?

Skype is reliable and for free too take a headset microphone and place it on your chest with a shot glass and you are all set

I share my heartbeat over Skype if anyone prefers to listen. I do not do live vid though so no webcamming just listening. Examine my heart muscle all you need to. Im 26/F. Skype: shapeshifter0909. If you can't find me, email me on here and I'll go look for you.

I used to share and listen over Skype all the time. But haven’t in a few years now. My really good computer mic broke! Although I do have a great new one that picks up my heartbeat really well! Hehe!

^What kind of microphone do you have?

I've listened to the heart and abdominal sounds of a few folk via Skype. Very clear sounds, surprisingly so.

@bbw4doc My mic is a simple lapel mic I got from Best Buy. It works with my phone, although I haven’t tested it with a laptop yet as mine is currently out of commission. It’s small enough to fit into the tubing or earpiece of a stethoscope!

Thanks, Mumford. I may order one. Looking for a way to do this.

Mumford, I must take a listen to that hard-working little heart of yours. Will you be on skype tonight?

@steth No. In my previous posts I stated I hadn’t shared over Skype in years, especially as my laptop is out of commission and I’m not sure how well it would work over my phone.

Hi Dawnguard217, sorry cannot ping you here and don't find ya @skype... 😢 Can you mail me 😃 Never did that via Skype, but I like to give it a try ;-)

I got a lapel mic but it won't fit into a steth tubing. The shot glass thing won't work for me either but that could partly be because I can't get a mic to work on my computer. It will work on my tablet but the shot glass trick doesn't work on it either. I can get it to work on my laptop but the sound is very faint on playback, even when I shout into it.

BBW4DOC--Have you tried the mic and shot glass while lying on your back. On women with larger breasts, it is often easier to get a good listen to the heart with the patient lying on her back. Wish I were close enough to come by and listen to you with my stethoscope.

^Yes, I have tried it laying on my back.

If you go to a good hardware store or auto parts store, you can find what's called a hose barb that's designed to join different sizes of tubing. Get a short piece of tubing that is the right size to slip snugly over the lapel mic. You want a hose barb with one end the right size to fit the larger tubing over the mic and the other end the right size to fit into the steth tubing.

@steths Skype works for me.

Heart listening over Skype is incredible in it of itself. I love it.

I would love to try listening to / sharing heartbeats over Skype, but I would need a close connection with the other person first. Someone I've been chatting with a while and who I feel I can trust.

I don't think anything can genuinely replicate a real life experience.

It's true that it can't compare with a live session, but sometimes also on line ones can be pretty intense too

I like it,can sound like real but its not compareble with real life listening
