Beltone "Minuet" Behind-the-Ear Hearing Aid The Beltone "Minuet" behind-the-ear hearing aid was produced by the Beltone Electronics Corp. of Chicago, IL in 1958. This hearing aid was a bit unusual as it was designed with a plastic case with a metal back. Also, with this design, there were left and right models. The one shown here is the left model. |  | Click picture for larger view | | |  | | |
