What is that sound

One of the first hearing aids applied

Harold Whittles, the 5 year little boy, has just been fitted with a hearing aid. Deaf until then, from a world of silence, he has suddenly been transported to a world of rich, vibrant sound. It is new, it is strange, and it’s also a little scary… The photo was published in the February 1974 edition of Reader’s Digest, in the article, “Unforgettable moments caught on film”.
