Eyeglass Style Transistor Hearing Aids: 1954-1990

Oticon Model 825 Eyeglass Hearing Aid

The Oticon Model 825 eyeglass hearing aid was manufactured by Oticon A/S of Copenhagen, Denmark in 1960.

The Oticon 562 housed all the electronics in one temple-piece. The other side was a dummy made to look exactly the same. In this case, the hearing aid was contained in the right temple piece.

This hearing aid had 3 transistors.
