NEW HEARING DEVICE
ENDS DEAFNESS FOR
THOUSANDS

As result of many months of sci
entific research and laboratory ex-
perimentation, electronic science
has made a new discovery in a
hearing device that is now bringing
hearing happiness to thousands.
This new instrument has met all Of
the exacting standards of the Coun-
Gil on Physical Medicine of the
American Medical Association. It
Is midget in size and requires no
separate battery pack, battery wire,
case or garment. The tone is clear
and powerful. So made that you
can adjust it yourself as your hear
ing changes. No longer is it nee
essary to suffer fatigue and nerv-
GUS from being hard Of hearing, or
to live in a world of silence apart
from the wonders Of sound. Due to
the many electronic changes now
possible with this new instrument,
1t Is now possible to f1t the most
difficult cases. If your doctor pre-
scribes a hearing device, you are
invited to bring to us his Audio-
metric Prescription for a correct
fitting. We will fit you according
to his analytic and diognostic find
ings, then without cost or oblga-
ton you may return to your doctor
for his final approval with the in
strument before purchase. The
makers of this remarkable new
postwar Beltone Hearing Aid are
so proud of their new achievement
that they will gladly have the DIS
TRICT HEARING AID CLINIC,
1907 H Street NV, send to any
one a free booklet describing this
new instrument and how a free
demonstration and trial fitting may
be had without risking a penny.
Come in today and investigate.
Open 9-6 PM, including Saturday.
