   Update: Thanks! It's called a voice amplifier.

   --

   Does this thing exist, and what is it called?

   A microphone and a small speaker that you can attach on your body with a magnet or something, for speaking to crowds outdoors? Or just the speaker that you can connect any BT microphone to?

   I've been on a few surveys and guided tours outdoors, and it's often so hard to hear the person speaking – even for me with good hearing. Surely there must be a tool for fixing this issue?

     @forteller in Hare Krishna circles, we use this a lot on Harinama and also in ceremonies, e.g. if a pujari wants to amplify mantra recitation during fire pujas etc. https://www.inclusive.com/products/shidu-voice-amplifier

     @larsivi There should! I just have never heard of or seen something like this, as far as I can remember. Which seems strange to me.

     @forteller Museums often have audioguides of some sort, so I suppose there should exist something that can be used.

     @hakona @larsivi Well, no. I know about megaphones… 😅 I mean something smaller, and with better sound quality.

     @hakona @larsivi It should! And by searching for "mini megaphone" I was able to find the product group which seems to be exactly what I was looking for: "voice amplifiers" https://www.newegg.com/p/0X6-0F9M-001D8

     So thanks! You helped me figure this out. Now to find out what this product is called in Norwegian :D
