Abstract

A non-electronic bi-aural acoustic enhancement device consists of cushioned formers mounted on opposite ends of a headband; the formers are worn behind the ears and push the ear flaps forward. There are also two curved reflector surfaces pivotally attached by an arm to the former so they direct sound into the ear canals.
