Stethoscope History
The stethoscope was invented in France in 1816 by René Laennec at the Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital in Paris and pioneered its use in diagnosing various chest conditions. René died of tuberculosis in 1826 at the age of 45. The first stethoscope consisted of a wooden tube and was monaural.
