Ear trumpets were used to aid those with difficulties in hearing. Sound waves enter the large domed end of the device and become amplified as they pass along the narrow tube and into the earpiece. The tip of the earpiece is placed in the ear canal of the user, the amplification of the sound makes it easier to hear. This piece is by Mayer of London, England and dates from around 1870.Credit:SPL / Science SourceSize:5189px × 3368px (~50 MB)Restrictions:No Sale through SubagentsGet PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:1870-1870s-19th century-acoustic-acoustics-aid-aids-amplification-amplifies-amplify-antique-antiques-audiology-auditory-blue background-brass-C019/8139-C0198139-deafness-device-devices-dome-domed-ear-ear horn-ear horns-england-english-hear-hearing-hearing aid-hearing aids-history-instrument-instruments-london-medical-medical instrument collection-medicine-metal-metallic-partial deafness-sound-sound collector-sound collectorsModel release:N/AParent folder:SPL FTP 140328-29
