Thank you for your email dated 7th October regarding Victorian ear trumpets.

While we don’t have any of the funnel shaped ear trumpets we do have the following:

·         A late Victorian hearing aid with adjustable connecting piece that rests on head like earphones, made of plastic. Stamped DEPOSE and CLARVOX/PARIS (our reference WAGMG : 1966.23)

·         A Victorian hearing aid consisting of a metal expandable tube covered with plastic joining the two plastic ends (our reference WAGMG : RD.47)
