You can't get 'electrocuted' from an earphone battery, it's not nearly powerful enough. A car battery (lead-acid) could in some scenarios deliver unpleasant shocks.

Unpleasant shocks are what I meant. English is my second language so sometimes I get terms wrong. But yeah, I wouldn't want to have an electronic device close to my ears when I'm getting drenched.

Don't worry that wouldn't happen with such a small battery. You would not feel anything at all.
You can wet your fingers and touch a 9V alkaline as an experiment, or touch that to your tongue - this has more than twice the voltage of the cell typically used in earphones

Well now, just to be contrary, I want to design a circuit that could deliver a deadly shock even with such a small battery.

I'm going to need a research lab, a few dozen live pigs, an assistant to do the soldering for me, and probably a lot of capacitors ... but I think it could be done. The key, I think, will be finding just the right combination of amperage, voltage, and frequency to best disrupt the rhythm of the heart.
