The DEAF CAN HEAR BY MEANS OF THEIR
TEErH.-The audphonc, an instrument in
vented by Western Yankee for aicviat-
ing the misery Of deafness, is simply IL
sheet Of vulcanizcd rubber, about 1.22 of
an inch in thickness, set firmly in handle
of the same material. In the upper rim
of this sheet are pierced some holes through
which passes silken cord. This goes down
on the inner side Of the sheet, to the han.
die, through a slot in which it passes. BY
pulling this cord the sheet is bent over at
any angle which the user may desire
Each person has to ascertain for himself
what kind of a curve Of the rubber sheet
will enable him to hear best. Generally it
is very slight-only about ten or twelve
dcgr ;es though apparently the dcafcr the
person the greater the curve must be- =
When used, the person holding it simply
touches the upper edge of the fan, or audi
phone, against the teeth of the upper jaw.
The voice of the speaker strikes upon this
tense sheet Of rubber and communicates to
it vibrations which are in turn impaired to
the teeth, and then pass to the auditory
nerve. With this operation the outer ear
has nothing whatever to do the delicate
machinery through which sound passing
from without makes an impression upon the
auditory nerve is not used at all. The
outer ear may be stopped up entirely, so
far as it is possible to do it, and yet one
hears distinctly the moment the audphonc
is applied to the teeth. 1t is necessary to
use the teeth Of the upper jaw for thc rca-
son that they arc more nearly in contact
with the auditory nerve; nor docs it make
much difference whether the teeth be ones
own or artificial, so long as those artificial
teeth are eighty fitted for when that is
the case the vibration is impaired about as
well as when they arc natural teeth. The
inventor is deaf himself He happened
one day to hold Il watch between his teeth,
and noticed that he could distinctly hear
its ticking, though when he held it to his
car no sound was audible. This set him
to thinking that pos .ibly he might be able
to invent some device by which the sounds
of the human voice could be Transmitted to
the auditory nerve through the medium Of
the teeth, just as the ticking of the watch
had been.
