Present, familiar air-conduction hearing devices are simply modified telephone receivers which step up sound vibrations to penetrate through the obstructed passage to the inner ear. Advantages claimed for the bone-conduction instrument are a mellower, more natural tone, an increase in hearing range. No more than the air-conduction instrument will it restore hearing to people whose auditory nerves are impaired...

The reception clerk would turn to a telegraph key, buzz the name and business of the caller in wireless code. From his inner office Commander Hawks would buzz a reply.
