Hearing aid museum


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.
