he needed an ear trumpet because he was deaf....the vibrations coming from his trumpet went to his ear so then he could hear what he was playing .
The modern trumpet was invented around 1814-1820.
The trumpet was invented in 1814 by Heinrich Stolzel.No one knows for sure who invented the trumpet. They were used for war calls in ancient times.
The horn section of a trumpet is an amplifier. Beethoven would have placed the little end in his ear canal and the sound would have been concentrated by the bell section, thus amplifying the sound.
An ear trumpet is actually somewhat like a stethoscope that a doctor uses to make it easier to hear your heart or fluid in your lungs. The stethoscope channels more sound into the doctors ear. An ear trumpet is even similar to putting your cupped hand behind your ear in order to better hear someone talking from a distance. Try it. You can see the sound seems louder when you put your hand, cupped, around the back side of your ear. Take your hand down and the "loudness" decreases. Hard of hearing folks often do this very thing. Some animals have vastly larger ears than humans. These large ears collect more of the sound (like your cupped hand did) and directs MORE sound into the ear canal. This is basically what an ear trumpet is doing. A number of animals have ears that they can even rotate forward or backward, which allows them to better determine which direction the sound is coming from, a distinct advantage if a predator is sneaking up from the rear. Since ear trumpets work similarly to the above examples - in other words a relatively large bell or cup shaped end running to a smaller opening that is place in the ear - the larger bell collects a great deal more sound than the smaller ear and then the sound is directly channeled into the ear canal - making it easier for the person to hear. In that manner of speaking, yes, an ear trumpet does make a sound louder for the person using the device. What it is actually doing is COLLECTING more sound and channeling it more directly into the ear. The end result is a more understandable sound for the user.

Heinrich Stolzel invented the first trumpet.
The best information we have points to the trumpet being invented in Egypt. The modern valved trumpet was invented in Germany.
They had an ear trumpet, which was like a trumpet or a horn, and they fitted the small end into the ear. This had the effect of trapping more of the sound to help them hear. You can get a similar effect by cupping your hands behind your ears to make a larger receptor.
Do you mean "Who invented the trumpet?" If you do, my guess is that the Ancient Egypt did.

In another book I read, an ear trumpet means something that old people that are losing their hearing use to hear better.
the pinna is like an ear trumpet that funnels sounds into the ear canal..
ever heard of google?

Heinrich Stoelzal and Friedrich Bluhmeh invented the 19th century valved horn, most akin to today's trumpet.
