I don't know that a horn would be my choice but I suggested it as it is a very low tech solution that would allow someone to still be able to hear the iPod touch but maybe easily keep it off of a flat surface from spills? I really don't know. I really doubt the inexpensive ones amplify the sound much if at all but it may prevent the muffling that can sometimes occur. I did find this article but I did not notice any prices. I have seen some of these horn amplifiers cost a lot more than a traditional electric speaker.
