Yes they listen to all the sounds that your lungs are making.

Hi, yeah the doctor can hear if your wheezy using a stethoscope but not everyone wheezes when having an attack so shouldn't be the only means of assessment

Well you dont have to have a wheeze to be unwell. You could have a crackle or anything really. But if your doctor is using the stethoscope then he/she should be able to hear what is going on in your chest and lungs as they normally check you front and back.
