Listening to Your Heart. Your doctor will use a stethoscope to hear your heartbeat. The opening and closing of your heart's valves make a lub dub noise. The doctor can check your heart and valve health and hear your heart's rate and rhythm by listening to those sounds.
The doctor will listen to your heart and lungs; check your eyes, ears, and throat; and make sure everything is working right on the inside and outside of your body. If you are sick or in pain, the doctor will examine you to figure out what is wrong.
