I've built a couple of in-ear microphone= s, and can hear my own heartbeat, but the quality is relatively poor, and o= nly works in very low-noise conditions. I was looking in to using dedicated= probe mics, such as Etymotic ER-7C (http://www.etymotic.com/pro/er7c-ts.as= px) and whether that might give me a better signal-to-noise ratio, but just= wondered if anyone has any experience of this before I buy some.
