The hearing aid should have an id# on it, connecting it to the distributor/lab which should/would have her name. Of course they may no longer exist or keep records for 30+ years. Is there any way of finding out if that was ever looked into? Hearing aids were very expensive back then, micro electronics were pretty new. It’s surprising to me she was not identified.

You would think so! Maybe an international traveler?
