Dahlberg D-5 Hearing Aid

The Dahlberg D-5 all-transistor hearing aid, produced by Dahlberg Electronics, Inc., followed the D-5 hybrid later in 1953 and was Dahlberg’s first all transistor model. The D-5 used three CK718 transistors.

It used the same chrome case as the D-5 hybrid model, which measured 2½" x 1¾" by ⅞". It weighed 6 oz. with its battery.
