Worried About How You’ll
Look With A Hearing Aid?
Chicago, HI.—A free offer of special interest
to those who hear but do not understand
words has been announced by Beltone. A
non-operating model of the smallest Beltone
aid of its kindwill be given absolutely free to
anyone requesting it.
True, all hearing problems are not alike...
and some cannot be helped by a hearing aid.
But audiologists report that many can. So,
Send for this free model now, and wear it in
the privacy of your own home. It is not a real
hearing aid, but it will show you how tiny
hearing help can be. It’s yours to keep, free.
The actual aid weighs less than a third of an
ounce, and it’s all at ear level, in one unit.
These models are free, so we suggest you
write for yours now. Again, we repeat, there
is no cost, and certainly no obligation.
Thousands have already been mailed, so write
today~to Dept. 12428. Beltone Electronics.
