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 more than 1,000 different
hearing aids and related items that have been used down through the years. At
present there are more than 530 items on-line. There are hundreds and hundreds more still to
come.
These hearing aids are from the private collections of Hugh
Hetherington, probably the foremost authority on old hearing aids alive today,
and Neil Bauman, owner/curator of "The Hearing Aid Museum".

Genuine, Fake or Something Else? Don't be taken in by "ear trumpets"
that are billed as genuine hearing aids, yet are not. Can you spot fake "ear
trumpets"? Can you figure out which "ear trumpets" are true hearing aids and
which are really something else, but are billed as real hearing aids?
Test how
good you are at separating the genuine ear trumpets from the fakes.
