    This document describes an "Amplified Ear" circuit that allows users to listen to faint sounds. The circuit uses a constant-volume control amplifier with four transistors, a microphone, and batteries to pick up and amplify audio signals at a constant level, allowing users to clearly hear sounds from far away or through walls. The circuit can be built with common electronic components and powered by a 1.5V battery to create a sensitive portable listening device.

    Device purpose:

    This circuit, connected to 32 Ohm impedance mini-earphones, can detect very


    remote sounds. Useful for theatre, cinema and lecture goers: every word will
    be clearly heard. You can also listen to your television set at a very low
    volume, avoiding to bother relatives and neighbors. Even if you have a faultless
    hearing, you may discover unexpected sounds using this device: a remote bird
    twittering will seem very close to you.

    Circuit operation:

    The heart of the circuit is a constant-volume control amplifier. All the signals
    picked-up by the microphone are amplified at a constant level of about 1 Volt
    peak to peak. In this manner very low amplitude audio signals are highly
    amplified and high amplitude ones are limited. This operation is accomplished
    by Q3, modifying the bias of Q1 (hence its AC gain) by means of R2.
    A noteworthy feature of this circuit is 1.5V battery operation.
    Typical current drawing: 7.5mA

    Notes:

    Due to the constant-volume control, some users may consider P1 volume


    control unnecessary. In most cases it can be omitted, connecting C6 to
    C3. In this case use a SPST slider or toggle switch as SW1.
    Please note the stereo output Jack socket (J1) connections: only the two
    inner connections are used, leaving open the external one. In this way
    the two earpieces are wired in series, allowing mono operation and
    optimum load impedance to Q4 (64 Ohm).
    Using suitable miniature components, this circuit can be enclosed in a very
    small box, provided by a clip and hanged on one's clothes or slipped into
    a pocket.
    Gary Pechon from Canada reported that the Amplified Ear is so sensitive that
    he can hear a whisper 7 meters across the room.
    He hooked a small relay coil to the input and was able to locate power lines in
    his wall. He was also able to hear the neighbor's stereo perfectly: he
    could pick up the signals sent to the speaker voice coil through a plaster
    wall.
    Gary suggests that this circuit could make also a good electronic stethoscope.
