Description

A Vibrophone hearing aid by Charles Valery, working in Paris. A 1913 advertisement for the device in a Portuguese journal describes it “as an invisible device that is placed in the ear canal. Thanks to its great power and precision deaf people hear and can follow a conversation. With its use buzzing and ear noise disappear completely.” The instruction that came with it indicate that the two-ended hammer can be used for ear massage by striking the device while in place.
