Vacuum Tube Hearing Aids: 1921-1953

Silvertone Model M-35 Vacuum Tube Hearing Aid

Sears, Roebuck & Co of Chicago, IL began selling hearing aids under the Silvertone trade name in 1949. Sears did not make their own hearing aids but had various manufacturers make models for them under their trade name.

The Silvertone Model M-35 was made by The Micronic Corp. and is similar to Micronic's own Model 101.

This Silvertone model was  4⅛ " x 2¼" x 1" and weighed 4½ oz.
