An electrical/electronic hearing aid in the year 1928 would be the size of a fair sized suitcase.
Because it would use vacuum tube technology, have a battery the size of the one in your car and weigh in around fifteen pounds.

No. No it would not.
(The website's bandwidth has been exceeded likely because of the effect of the viral video.) But it's a small device roughly the size of a large first-generation iPod or something used as a hearing aid.)
As for why she'd be talking. Either she's talking to no one, as she's a nutter, or she's talking in order to "test" the device.
ding ding ding. As I was watching the setup, after the 3rd time I said "Get on with it!" he said "No one can tell me what it is."
I said "I can tell you what it is. It's a publicity stunt."

I love the whole style. It's pure "Ghosthunters" in how it presents information, by spending the vast majority of it's airtime telling you it's mysterious, unexplainable and no one has figured it out (gosh, no one!?), so that when you finally see the video, all it ends up being is a blurry bit of nothing with far more reasonable answers at the ready, but are promptly ignored, to which they cut back to how "amazing!" the footage is and proves that something mysterious and unexplainable has happened.
Yeah, I was aware after I wrote that it made me sound like some 14 year old kid who wants everything condensed down to 5 seconds soundbites. But what I meant was for something that is blatently a load of bollocks, I don't need some idiot talking crap about it for 5 minutes beforehand. I've better things to do with my life
Esp. whent he guy is like "She's holding something and I've no idea what it could be but it looks like a cell phone!"
Yes. Because that's the first thing to enter someone's head when they see someone walking around with their hand to their ear in a 90 year old video. A time traveler. Nevermind that even if time travel is possible many physicists agree it wouldn't be possible to travel back any further in time than when the machine was first switched on. Or that the woman is completely ancient looking to be a time-traveler. Or that no one noticed for the last 90 years of this footage except for this one douchebag. Meaning that no one who saw this thought anything of it! That right there tells me it was something mundane to their time period like an early hearing aid.
That this is getting national news?
There are cell phones that are also walkie talkies to other similar phones, I know nextel use to make some. The idea is that id you are working with a group and there is no cell coverage you can still comunicate with your team. I think i's Marty Mcfly in drag calling the doc becuse he did not get the Sport Almanac back. lol
I think it is a Time Traveler. He's from so far in the future that they think of the whole 20th Century all lumped together, so they didn't realize there were no cell phones in the 20s. If you look closely, you can lip read the guy saying, "What the fuck! You got it all wrong!"
My first thought was actually a security guy incognito because there was a threat to Chaplin's life at the premiere or something. But I don't think Walkie Talkies came along for another ten or twenty years.
Probably just some random person who didn't expect to have his or her picture taken while out for a walk and is cursing about it.

Probably walked by something loud at the circus and is holding her ear and complaining about the noise. The object could be an eyeglass case.
Here's what I'm getting...
Not just some guy posting video for the WOW.
But an Irish filmmaker, who even hangs a poster of his own movie on the wall behind him. He talks about his filmmaking and film fests and all that, rather than just cutting to the chase with the vintage footage.
Clearly, as a film maker he is seeking publicity and exposure for his projects.
So... a film maker comes forth with some incredible footage and posts it, creating a worldwide sensation.
Not too suspect, is it????

Hmm, those McNuggets look suspicious. Everybody knows that colour wasn't invented until the 1930s.moar evidence time travels. i'm not sure how generations of historians missed this one.
You can edit video in Photoshop, which is beside the point to it frequently being used as a generic term for any faked imagery, much to the chagrin of Adobe.
