Another alternative are the stethescopes put out by MagnaFortis 
(www.magnafortis.com).  They might not work in a C-141 before take off, but 
stack a have dozen face cloths folded in quarters on your (simulated) patient's 
chest and you can still hear lung and heart sounds.  Gives you an idea of what 
you might be able to hear through on scene (that privacy thing).  Several of the 
medics I work with have tossed their Littman's in favor of the MagnaFortis 
scope.  And if you are able to get the student discount, cost is about 25% of 
listed price.
