Alexander Graham Bell  was an eminent Scottish-born UK/ Canada /USA scientist, inventor, engineer and innovator who is credited with inventing the first practical telephone.

Bell's father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocutionand speech, and both his mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell's life's work.

Alexander Graham Bell Biography

 His research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first U.S. patent for the telephone in 1876.

Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study.
