Ordinary small audio amplifiers or other plain sound reinforcing systems cannot be sold as "hearing aids". Earlier devices, known as ear trumpets or ear horns, were passive funnel-like amplification cones designed to gather sound energy and direct it into the ear canal. Similar devices include the bone anchored hearing aid, and cochlear implant.
