Hearing aid museum

By at 7:37 am Monday, Oct 17

The Washington U School of Medicine has an amazing Web-based museum of 19th and 20th century hearing aids. The 19th century prostheses are just amazing -- ingenious and impractical, huge and ornate. The ear-trumpets flocked with black feathers for use by mourners are particularly wonderful. Link (via We Make Money Not Art)
