Ear Horn

The Ear Horn iHORN is made from an small antique ear horn, the original hearing aid.  These were called Ear Trumpets. The use of ear trumpets for the partially deaf dates back to the 17th century.  By the late 18th century, their use was becoming increasingly common. Collapsible conical ear trumpets were made by instrument makers on a one-off basis for specific clients.  By the late 19^th Century, hidden hearing aids became popular and replaced the ear trumpets as the mainstay.  The Ear Horn iHorn is a first of its kind and will stop some of us from repeatedly saying “What?”
