earpiece
Small listening device
An earpiece is the part of a device designed to be held against or inserted into the ear.
On eyeglasses, the earpieces are the arms that hook over the ears to hold the frames in place.
On a telephone or headset, the earpiece is the speaker portion that delivers sound.
In professional settings, an earpiece often refers to a small, discreet receiver worn in the ear canal for private communication: The Secret Service agent adjusted her earpiece.
