Auscultate is a medical term used to describe the process of listening to sounds in the body, usually with a stethoscope. However, there are several antonyms for auscultate that refer to the opposite action. One such antonym is "ignore," which means to pay no attention to something or someone, including the body sounds that would typically be listened to during auscultation. "Muffle" is another relevant antonym, meaning to reduce or suppress sound, indicating the opposite of auscultate, which amplifies sounds for diagnosis. "Neglect" and "discount" are other antonyms that suggest a lack of attention or importance given to the sounds of the body, which are essential indicators of health conditions.
