Zenith "Envoy" Transistor (Body) Hearing Aid

The Zenith "Envoy" transistor hearing aid was manufactured by the Hearing Aid Division of the Zenith Radio Corp. in 1960. It was a 4-transistor aid.

A little unusual in shape, its gold metal case measured 2¼" x ¾" x ⅜" thick.

The volume control is on the left side. A three position switch on the right side is labeled "Off", "On" and "HI" (high frequency emphasis).
