Zenith "Dynamic Range" Transistor (Body) Hearing Aid

The Zenith "Dynamic Range" Transistor Hearing Aid was manufactured by the Hearing Aid Division of the Zenith Radio Corp. in 1971. It was an 8-transistor aid.

The Zenith "Dynamic Range" measured 2˝" x 1⅝" x 15/16" thick, and weighed 2 oz. with battery. The case has a gold-colored anodized aluminum front and a tan-colored plastic back over a dark brown chassis.

The horizontal rectangular microphone grill was along the top front of the hearing aid, and just below it was the wire pocket clip.
