Hi Jessica, telling you its function would totally give it away, so here's a few hints instead:
I tend to only use this item occassionally in certain situations.
It's made of plastic outside and inside are wires and complex electronics and controls. 🎛 🎚🖲
It runs on electricity with rechargeable batteries

The modern version of the retro cassette recorder.

No, not one of them Craig, I didn't know they existed.
Still, I have a panasonic VCR to DVD and back recorder/player, but that's bigger than my mystery item. Much bigger. Mine's more modern too interfacing with my smart phone via Bluetooth.

Many of my friends and family used mine to convert their vcr memories to dvd's Jessica.
Decades ago my old Dad and I converted his silent 8mm reels to vcr with his and my commentaries.🎞📽 Decades later I converted the vcr's to a dvd and I made and posted out 2 dozen dvd copies to rellies.
Now my copies are on big usb's and a huge external drive.🗳
Those vcr to dvd machines are really dated now but mine still works well, not that I use it anymore but I do have a big collection of old but good video tapes and dvds.🎞
🎙My item has a few similarities in technology to those lovely old media machines.... but on a much smaller scale.

I see they are still making the micro c/r.
I had one the first Aussie batch of the micro min c/r. Similar to this.

The items I'm thinking of are even smaller than your old micro cassette recorder Craig. Much smaller!
Even smaller than my old dated mp3 pocket player that was the size of a cigarette lighter, and much, much more expensive

This item was first invented in 1898 and constantly improved since then to the modern versions.
They are used mostly by elderly people, like me.
No doubt you've seen lots of them.
I have now Craig, thanks for the reminder.

An electronic hearing aid?

Bingo Craig, that's it, hearing aids!
Mine cost ~$5k and really help, but I only tend to wear them when out and about. They've got blue tooth connected to my smart phone, tv, ... so I can get phone calls on it and listen to any media like radio from my phone. I can tune them up, left and right with an app on my smart phone for different enviroments, like loud restaurants.
It's also supposedly got AI to adjust noise levels but I'm yet to notice that? I mainly need them for high frequency sounds which they do very well with me now hearing sounds I hadn't for decades. The rechargeable batteries should last ~ 5 years +.
The only downside is the itch I get from them in my ear canals, but I'm getting used to that. Sorbolene helps.
$1600 subsidy for pensioners and for ~$53pa a full government warranty for 5 yesrs and annual check up and service. The bottom shelf aids are priced equal to the $1600 subsidy so effectively free.
Top shelf ~ $10+k. My motorbike only cost $7k!
How's your hearing? How's your hearing?
Your turn mate.
Pretty good thanks.
It's a cheeky emoji Jessica ?I'll have a go if that's ok

Hi Terry!Where do I start with all your icons!
My item isn't powered. It's used by all genders and ages, and it isn't big!
I love icons too, it makes a post light-heartedI am no iconoclast Jessica? I just like icons, but that was a blast.
Is it a personal item?
Is it only used indoors?
Is it expensive?
Is it made of plastic, wood or metal?
No.
It's mainly used indoors but can be used outdoors
My one was cheap
It's made of plastic
