'Audiphone Invisible Bernard' Hearing Device

 
An unusual antique hearing aid from France which would be equally at home in the quackery section. These usually come in double sets but this one is a cased single aid for the left ear. The metal plate is designed to fit behind the ear and is flesh coloured (hence 'Invisible'). The improved hearing was attributed to magnetism and the box comes with its own 'Galvanometer'. Each plate is marked "Audiphone, Bernard Cie, 7 Rue De Londres Paris". The silk lined box is also engraved as shown and is in good condition.
