Sears Model 8094 "Super 94" Transistor (Body) Hearing Aid
The Sears Model 8094 "Super 94" transistor body hearing aid was made
for Sears by Oticon of Denmark in 1969.
Sears didn't manufacture their own hearing aids but contracted with
various manufacturers to make and brand an aid for them. The Sears Model
8094 was very similar to
Oticon's Model 370 series of aids.
This hearing aid measured 2 7/16" x 1⅞ " x ¾" (6.2 x 4.8 x 2.0 cm)
and weighed 1.4 oz. (40 g) without the battery.
