Re:I'm no expert.
That's what hearing aids were like back in the1950s... http://www.hearingaidmuseum.com/gallery/Transistor%20(Body)/Sonotone/info/sonotone1010.htm

Re:OK, I'll bite.
It is most likely a Western Electric Model 34A "Audiphone" Carbon Hearing Aid, which was commercially available from 1925. The lady in question was probably talking into it to adjust the volume, or see if it was still working.
Hooray for the publicity grab!
That hearing aid unit is nearly 8" long and much bulkier than what appears to be in the ladies hand.

Re:Ancient Hearing Aid
I found this hearing aid made in 1925 which would line up with the time period http://www.hearingaidmuseum.com/gallery/Carbon/WesternElectric/info/westelect34a.htm She/he was probably incorrectly using this new device her kids gave her. I know my grandma would talk to an iPod if I gave her one.

Grandma Titor was likely using one of these:

It still doesn't explain why the person she's conversing with is INVISIBLE!!!
But if she's using this, she'd only have the earplug in her hear and the device in her pocket. She wouldn't keep the whole device next to her ear.

I've asked a hundred people and nobody could give me an answer. The only reasonable explanation is that the person is a vampire and their image can't be captured on film.
It still doesn't explain why the time-traveling tranny's vampire friend is NAKED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!!!

Looks like a hearing aid.
Obviously it's not clear what kind of aid it is, specifically, but it looks like an old ear trumpet.
Like this thing.
