Batphones were designed by Matthias Ries to help the hard of hearing look funny. They're basically a pair of shaped plastic cups you wear like headphones. I got a pair for my grandma and she loves them. ISN'T THAT RIGHT GRANDMA? I SAID "ISN'T THAT RIGHT?" Damn she still can't hear for shit. Oh, it looks like she dozed off. And is drooling. On my couch. Awesome.

Grandma for sale. Free grandma. Goes by Beatrice. Old exterior, but young at heart. Runs great but may leak fluids on your expensive furniture. Cooks, but not that well and often forgets the stove is on. May present a fire hazard.

What ever happened to those hearing horns? You just hold a horn up to your ear and listen to sounds being directed towards you.

Talk about re-inventing the wheel to look like an oval.

Is that woman even aware that she's modeling a product pic? I bet off to the rear left there is a television with a Wilford Brimley "diabetus" commercial playing.

I smell a lawsuit. These things look just like Earglasses, which came out YEARS ago.
