§ Mr. K. RobinsonThe present standard Medresco hearing aid was first supplied to children in 1958 and to adults in 1960. This is a transistor model which is clinically satisfactory for the great majority of the hard of hearing. I am reviewing the hearing aid service to see whether improvements can be made.
