Beltone Alto (Sub-model B) ITE Hearing Aid

The Beltone Alto (sub-model B) ITE hearing aid was made by the Beltone Electronics Corporation of Chicago, IL during the 1985. Beltone produced a range of ITE hearing aids named the "Alto" in line with their long established practice of naming their hearing aids with music related names.
