Electone Model PA? In-the-Ear (ITE) Hearing Aid

I'm not sure about the model number, but it may be "PA"

On the "ear hooks" (inside upper) are the year (85 for 1985), the serial numbers 063844 (left) and 063845 (right)—a matched pair, and below that "Electone P.A." I take the "P.A." to be the model number.
