What's all this about 'ear mites'??

...never mind

[Mogger]

What's with the headline calling it an "ear mic"?

A "mic" is a microphone. It converts audio to electronic or electrical signals for recording, amplification or other processes.

You speak INTO it.

An "earpiece", or headphone, etc., receives a signal and converts it to audio for the person wearing it to listen to.

I have never heard of, or seen anybody sticking a mic in their ear.

But then, this was probably written by a typical stupid, ignorant "journalist" that also believes an E-STOP button is a "reset" Button.
