Lots of nurses and EMTs swear by the amplified Bluetooth stethoscopes but unlike a Dr working in a nice quiet office, they're often in much noisier conditions.

The difference between a $100 mic and one that costs ten to a hundred times as much is not how well they work in perfect conditions, but how well they work in the worst conditions imaginable.

Doctors often have the seniority and authority to make the room quiet; nurses and EMTs are often working in much different conditions.
