Nuance Audio Glasses, if necessary, are to be used in association with prescription lenses for those adults who also require correction of visual defects.

This results in maximum amplification for the person directly in front of you, effectively addressing the challenge of understanding speech in noisy environments for those with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. Our advanced directional amplification technology, coupled with open ears and natural sound, allows you to effortlessly catch up on sounds that may be missed, especially in noisy surroundings.

What are the benefits of Nuance Audio Glasses vs other "OTC" or traditional hearing aids?
There are several differences between Nuance Audio Glasses and traditional hearing aids:
• Style: Nuance Audio Glasses relies on EssilorLuxottica R&D skills, craftmanship capabilities and design expertise. As a result, Nuance Audio Glasses seamlessly integrates its technology within a stylish frame.
• Comfort: People who use other OTC or traditional hearing aids tend to complain about discomfort in the ear canal. Nuance Audio Glasses offers vision and hearing benefits in one seamless product. The open-ear solution eliminates the discomfort commonly associated with inside-the-ear traditional aids.
• Directionality: This allows the listener to focus on the speaker they are facing, when used in "Frontal" audio mode. For those times when you prefer to experience your surroundings without emphasizing the front, Nuance Audio Glasses offers also the “All-around” audio mode, which amplifies without utilizing the directional algorithm.
• Simplicity: As no fitting/configuration are required, you can adjust your Nuance Audio Glasses settings from your Nuance Audio App very easily. Nuance Audio Glasses has been designed to be very simple to use and does not require customers to be tech-savvy. You can easily configure Nuance Audio Glasses via the companion Nuance Audio App choosing the (i) preset program (four options available) that best suits your profile, as well as further personalizing the hearing support by playing with (ii) "volume", (iii) "background noise" and (iv) "audio mode" settings. All these 4 settings are available in the Nuance Audio App home page.
