Adam Savage parodies this during a MythBusters build — he was assembling a huge funnel, and when he finished it he held it up to one ear. In the Chinese Invasion Alarm myth, Kari and Adam use construction cones as these to help them hear the faint beats emanating from their sunken drum. It doesn't help "Deaf as a post" Adam, but Kari does hear the drum responding to the pickaxes digging through the rock below. |

Looney Tunes: The 1963 short "Now Hear This" had an old man finding a new ear trumpet in place of his old and worn-out one. He is overjoyed to have a new shiny trumpet, but it is, in fact, Satan's lost horn, and it has the old man's world turn into a synesthetic, nightmarish acid trip sequence. | |

Old timers in Lucky Luke are often seen with these, especially if said geezers are weakened to wheelchair condition. Usually the ear trumpet user still cannot hear and has to rely on someone else to personally deliver "what he says."
