Antique Hearing Devices by Elisabeth Bennion (1st edition—new) (1994)
Antique Hearing Devices is one of the classic books on collecting and
identifying antique acoustic (non-electric) hearing aids. One antique dealer
called this book the "Holy Grail" on antique hearing devices. It is profusely
illustrated throughout with pictures (B & W) on almost every page. If you
collect antique hearing aids, this book will be invaluable in helping you
research and identify the acoustic hearing devices in your collection.
The copy of the book in the museum (shown at the right) is the very
last new unsold copy of the final print run. This book is now
permanently out of print.
