Hearite "Invisible" Pinna Insert
The Hearite "Invisible" pinna insert was made or imported by the
American Hearite Corp of New York, NY. It probably dates to sometime
just after 1926, the year the American Hearite Corp. was incorporated.
This pinna insert probably didn't do much of anything to help a
person hear better unless their ear canals were collapsed and the insert
kept them open so sound could better get through. |

Top view of the Hearite "Invisible" pinna insert. The metal
insert is open on the bottom so that sound reflected off the pinna
insert, then off the top of the metal insert and finally was directed into the ear canal.
