"Most hearing aids are of such size and shape that they clearly draw
attention to the imperfection of the wearer. This condition
is, as we have experienced, enough to make many people shrink back from
using such an aid."
A. C. Grnbech, M.D., 1891
"At the turn of the 19th century, a new trend emerged in the design of
mechanical hearing devices. Clumsy and bulky devices
such as ear trumpets and long speaking tubes evolved into devices that
could be incorporated into everyday items or worn on
the person. Public reaction or perceived reaction of others to wearing a
noticeable hearing device likely influenced this trend."
