What is this thingy?

Ok, I was at lunch at a local restaurant the other day, and an older couple came in (60's?). The both had some sort of device in their ears. It was very space age looking: blue and grey. It looked very much like some sort of device you might see on Star Trek. It would flash a blue light occassionally. I assumed at first that one of them might be deaf and this helped him hear. But they didn't behave as though either was deaf.
After a while one of them took the thingy off.
Does anyone have any idea what this might have been?

They were clearly spies. Doubtlessly they were some of your many admirers from this site.

Wasn't it just a mobile phone with earplugs?

It was one of the new "Silent Orgasmic Devices" which flashes blue when the batteries are low. The couple had clearly been using the device too much that day and drained the batteries.

Possibly an auxillary brain. Periodic usage may ward off senility.

No. They were about 2-3 inches long

They sound like Blue tooth earpieces for mobile phones. Something like this? http://www.pmctelecom.co.uk/shopping/moreinfo.php? uniq_rand=4a79f006dbcc1dad98acabd808e94435&txt_itemcode=PLANT M3000&txt_from=2&txt_searchstring=98&ccat=97&hidcat=98&Record_St art_ID=1&txt_from=2

Definitely Bluetooth mobile hands-free headsets.
Secure wireless connection to a suitable mobile phone up to 10 metres away.
From the description, probably a Jabra BT200.
Available in any mobile phone shop or website for around £30.
Thats about $55, but you guys over the pond get everything techie a lot cheaper than we do, so you can probably just change the £ for a $ and be near the mark.

anyone maybe thought it could be their blue tooth devices?

They were in a restuarant and dont wanna shout at each other - so they thought, what the heck lets put on our blue tooth devices and phone each other, then no one can hear what the old guy is saying to his lover(wife, girlfriend etc). That way they can have phone sex - wouldnt that be nice at their age???? 🙂
