Abstract
A physiological sound examination device includes a physiological sound measurement unit; a power calculation unit which calculates power of a first physiological sound and power of a second physiological sound, the first physiological sound being one of two different kinds of physiological sounds measured by the physiological sound measurement unit in a same time period and the second physiological sound being the other of the two different kinds of physiological sounds; a power comparison unit which compares first power indicating the power of the first physiological sound and second power indicating the power of the second physiological sound, to calculate a comparison result indicating a ratio or a difference between the first power and the second power; and a determination unit which determines whether or not a measurement position of the physiological sound is appropriate, by comparing the comparison result with a threshold.
