Abstract

The bow has two arms fixedly connected to each other. Each arm has its free end formed and adapted to be placed in the patient's ear meatus. The arms have a rounded form and are made of a resilient material in order to make them resiliently outbendable at least to such an extent that the bow having its free ends at a distance from each other suitable to the distance between the openings to the patient's ear meatuses in outbent condition is movable over the sides of the patient's face in order to place the ear bow ends into the patient's ear meatuses.
