              <text>One of the early, "bulky" hearing aids worn on the chest. Versions of the Phonic Ear came out in the 1970's.&#13;
This is how the battery of an old fashioned hearing aid was charged. Once fully charged, it is plugged into a box microphone worn around the neck. Ear phones are plugged into the microphone and then put in the ears to amplify the sound.&#13;
