Bell was very close to his mother. He spent a lot
of time with her. Eliza was his first teacher. She taught
him to be curious about the world. She became deaf
when Bell was 12 years old. She made her own hearing
aid. It was a tube. The tube connected to her ear to
whatever she wanted to hear. Bell spoke into the tube
when he talked to his mother. He thought there was
a better way.

of his voice. Vibrations are moving sound waves. Eliza
could understand him.
But she still couldnt hear at parties. So Bell came
up with another idea. He was inspired by his fathers
work. His father invented visible speech. Visible means
easily seen. Bell used a manual alphabet. Manual
means by hand. He sat next to Eliza. He spelled words
with his fingers. He tapped them out. He did this on
Elizas palms, fingers, and knuckles. He was able to
include her in conversations this way. Elizas deafness
led Bell to study sounds.
