Ear trumpets were used to aid those with difficulties in hearing. Sound waves enter the wide end 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, amplification of the sound makes it easier to hear. These date from between 1860 and 1910, they are made from brass, celluloid and silver plate.Credit:SPL / Science SourceSize:3389px × 5157px (~50 MB)Restrictions:No Sale through SubagentsGet PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:1860-1860s-1900s-1910-1910s-19th century-20th century-acoustic-acoustics-aid-aids-amplification-amplifies-amplify-antique-antiques-audiology-auditory-brass-C019/8142-C0198142-celluloid-deafness-device-devices-domed-ear-ear horn-ear horns-england-english-hear-hearing-hearing aid-hearing aids-history-instrument-instruments-medical instrument collection-medicine-metal-metallic-partial deafness-silver-sound-sound collector-sound collectors-tan backgroundModel release:N/AParent folder:SPL FTP 140328-29
