Pupils can put the wireless earpieces in their ears and link them to a phone or mp3 player to remind themselves of some crucial answers in the exam.There are a range of devices available on websites such as Amazon and eBay including calculators that can show revision notes on screen.
One such calculator is selling on Amazon for £35.99 under the name 'cheating calculator'.
Neil Carmichael, chairman of the Commons education select committee, has demanded a 'comprehensive solution' from the government.
He told The Sunday Telegraph: 'I would say we should be thinking about counter-technology, and random spot checks.
'This trend threatens to undermine our exam system.'
And cross-bench peer Baroness Wolf went one step further, calling for airport-style metal detectors.
MailOnline has contacted Amazon for comment.
