Bone phone

Japanese mobile phone company Tu-Ka has developed a phone that conducts sound through the skull to the inner ear instead of hitting the outer eardrum with noise, as regular phones do. Users just need to hold the device against the side, top or back of their head and plug one or both of their ears. The technology has been available for two years in landlines.
