Audivox Model 67 (Super) Vacuum Tube Hearing Aid

67, which was made for Western Electric by Hazeline Mfg. Co., came out
in 1950.
This hearing aid weighed 4 oz. without batteries (6¼ oz. with
batteries).
It measured 3½" x 2½" x ¾".

Top view of the Audivox Model 67 showing the on-off/volume control
(bottom left), 3-position tone control—high,
normal, low (bottom center) and jack to plug in the receiver cord. This
plug was a bit unusual for hearing aids of this era as it looks more
like our modern audio plugs rather than the more usual 2-prong plugs of
its day. |
