Abstract

A medical instrument (10, 10') includes at least one medically functional component (20, 22, 24, 100, 102, 104), and an ear coupler (16, 16') adapted for at least partial insertion into an ear canal (EC) to operatively contact the at least one medically iunctional component with a patient. A medically non-iunctional audio player (40) is disposed on the medical instrument, and includes a sound-generating element (42, 42', 44) arranged to generate sound that is audible to the patient when the ear coupler is at least partially inserted into the patient's ear canal, a memory (50) storing relaxing or entertaining audio content, and audio player electronics (48) configured to drive the sound-generating element to play the relaxing or entertaining audio content.
