A dose counter device for an inhaler registers when a dose is delivered. The dose counter is adapted to mount on the distal end of the inhaler. The inhaler includes a canister comprising an inhaler housing. The dose counter device comprises a device trigger provided in an electron circuit on the distal end of the canister. The electron circuit further comprises an acoustic sensor also provided on the distal end of the canister. A force sensor is adapted to activate the acoustic sensor when a force is applied to the distal end of the canister. The acoustic sensor registers dose delivery when it picks up a sound.
