One early type of hydrophone was like a crude telephone. A rubber diaphragm immersed in the water received the impulses, transmitted them to a carbon-granule chamber, thence through wires to the earphones...
...binaural principle" of acoustical direction-finding is basically the same as that which enables a human being (with good hearing in both ears) to tell approximately whence a sound comes. The compression peaks of a sound wave coming in at an angle reach the near ear a tiny fraction of a second sooner than the far ear-and the hearing mechanisms are so sensitive that they translate this minute time difference into a sense of direction.
