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. The upper ear trumpet is covered in leather. These date from around 1890, England.Credit:SPL / Science SourceSize:5156px × 3390px (~50 MB)Restrictions:No Sale through SubagentsGet PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:1890-1890s-19th century-acoustic-acoustics-aid-aids-amplification-amplifies-amplify-antique-antiques-audiology-auditory-C019/8151-C0198151-conical-deafness-device-devices-ear-ear horn-ear horns-england-english-extendable-green background-hear-hearing-hearing aid-hearing aids-history-instrument-instruments-leather-medical instrument collection-medicine-metal-metallic-partial deafness-sound-sound collector-sound collectorsModel release:N/AParent folder:SPL FTP 140328-29
