Hearing Aids Have Come a Long Way from the Primitive Ear Trumpets of Yesteryear

Welcome to the largest on-line hearing aid museum in the world! When this web site is completed, you will be able to browse through hundreds and hundreds of different hearing aids and related items that have been used down through the years. At present there are well over 200 items on-line.

These hearing aids are mostly from the private collection of Hugh Hetherington, probably the foremost authority on old hearing aids alive today.

Note 1: This museum is a work in progress. In the various category lists picture placeholders with the words "Still to Come" and non-clickable (black) titles on the right indicate that these items have not yet been added to the on-line museum but are in the physical collection. They will be added as time permits.

Note2: The pictures on the individual hearing aids and other items on this website are all clickable to get a larger view. Just click on the picture and a new window with a larger picture will pop up.

Note3: If you have a pop-up blocker on your computer, you may need to turn it off in order to see the large pictures of the various hearing aids. Otherwise they may be blocked.
