Aurosage

The aurosage was manufactured in 1921. It is an electric carbon "hearing treatment" device. A battery housed within the case drove the earpiece which in turn massaged the ear. It was claimed that "upon continued use it would gradually restore hearing by circulating blood to dormant parts of the ear".
