Abstract: An audible ultrasound physical examination device alters ultrasound to an audible range such that audible feedback can be used to enhance physical examination to detect anatomical abnormality and determine if more refined testing is warranted. The device includes a chestpiece and an ultrasound probe coupled to the chestpiece. The ultrasound probe projects an initial sound wave towards a first face of the chestpiece and into a human body such that a reflected wave is produced when the initial sound wave is reflected by matter with the human body. A sonic converter, coupled to the chestpiece, introduces an interference wave creating destructive interference to produce a resulting wave within an audible range. An earpiece is coupled to the chestpiece such that the resulting wave in the audible range is audible through the earpiece.
