English term or phrase: body aids
Transistors were used in hearing aids two years before they were used in transistor radios.
By making transistors out of silicon, hearing aidswere again able to shrink in size.
First they became “body aids”, and then ear-friendly instruments worn behind the ear, in the ear shell, or ultimately, within the ear canal.

apparecchi da portare addosso


Explanation:
Proposta:

First they became “body aids”, and then ear-friendly instruments worn behind the ear, in the ear shell, or ultimately, within the ear canal.
=
Inizialmente concepiti come apparecchi da portare addosso [nota: nel taschino della giacca e simili], si trasformarono in strumenti più adatti ecc.

(Assumo che tu abbia tradutto "hearing aid" come "apparecchio acustico").
