How was the stethoscope invented?

Do you have any idea how this acoustic medical device was invented? How come its inventor came up with the idea?

The stethoscope was invented because a French doctor, Rene Theophile Hyacinthe Laënnec,  felt uncomfortable placing his face on a younger woman’s chest.

The word stethoscopecomes from the Greek words stethos, meaning chest, and skopein, meaning to explore.
