Answer:
Rene -Theophile-Hyacinthe Laennec 17 February 1781 – 13 August 1826) was a French physician and musician. His skill of carving his own wooden flutes led him to invent the stethoscope in 1816, while working at the Hôpital Necker. He pioneered its usage in diagnosing various chest conditions.

stethoscope was made using a long, rolled paper tube to funnel the sound from the patient's chest to his ear. Accounts vary on exactly how Laennec created his invention, but it was clear from the beginning that the acoustic properties of the tube greatly improved Laennec's ability to hear vital heart and lung sounds. Laennec coined the name "stethoscope" from two Greek words: stethos (chest) and skopein (to view or see). He also called his method of using the stethoscope "auscultation" from "auscultare" (listen).
