What ever happened to these? They sure would be helpful now a days with loud talkers being the number one annoyance in the office. The Voice Silencer lets you talk in secret.
Your telephone conversation can be made inaudible to others in the same room if the phone is equipped with a new mouthpiece that prevents sound from escaping. It is easily attached to any hand instrument and fits snugly around the speaker’s lips. There is no distortion of the voice.

This is actually a historically important device: it's called a Hush-A-Phone. Back in the bad old days when you got all your phone equipment from The Phone Company, it wasn't quite clear whether this sort of thing (attaching a third-party device to a telephone) was legal. An AT&T lawyer saw an ad for it in a window and decided to sue. They lost on appeal, clearing the way for Makers to hook up whatever they wanted to their phones.
