Paul G. Hirschy, for the past twelve
years well known as expert optician in
Minneapolis, has for a number of years
been spending much time in studying in
struments for the relief of people, with
defective hearing. He is now agent in
the northwest for the Mears Ear Phone
company. This instrument is of very
recent invention and extremely simple
in operation. It is an electrical device
and can be carried very handily in
shirtwaist or a vest pocket, and is prac=
tically invisible. The instrument is
fitted to each individual ear much the
same as spectacles are fitted to the eye,
and there is a perfect fit in each case.
The instrument is known as "Nuhear-
os,' and is in no respect similar to the
ordinary trumpets and conversation
tubes.
Mr.. Hirschy would be pleased to show
one of the instruments to any one in
terested, at his offices, SIS Nicollet ave-
