It’s time for the dawn of a new era in hearing technology. For years, the majority of hearing aids have been driven solely by the traditional tech manufacturers. Now, make way for the introduction of the global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of advanced lens technology and iconic eyewear, Essilor Luxottica, who produce Oakley and Ray-Ban. They’ve recently acquired consumer electronics company Nuance Hearing and have created a super audio division purely focused on hearing aid technology.
This exciting new innovation combines hearing enhancement with stylish, modern eyewear, offering a fresh option for adults experiencing mild hearing loss. And because they’re now available right here at Harley Street Hearing, you can see, try, and experience them for yourself with the support of our expert audiologists.
To help you understand why these glasses are generating so much excitement, here are five reasons why you might consider trying them:
1. Discreet Hearing Support That Fits Your Lifestyle
Not everyone is ready to wear traditional hearing aids, and that’s where Nuance Audio Glasses come in. They look and feel like regular glasses while providing subtle hearing support that fits seamlessly into your daily life. Whether you’re in a busy café, at a work meeting, or enjoying a conversation with friends, these glasses help you hear more clearly without compromising your style.
2. Cutting Edge Beamforming Technology
The arms of the glasses are actually in the perfect position to place multiple microphones. Combining this with the directional beamforming technologies from Nuance Hearing, it will automatically select who you want to hear in a noisy environment and even track them, delivering the information at record speed to your ears.
This means that you could have two pairs of glasses in front of you, one pair with a built-in hearing aid and another which was an ordinary pair of glasses, and you would have no idea which was which; the audio component is completely invisible.
3. Personalised Listening and All-Day Comfort
Life isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is hearing. Using the companion app, you can adjust listening modes and sound levels to suit different environments, from quiet home settings to bustling streets.
Engineered for all-day wear, these frames are lightweight and rechargeable, offering 8-10 hours of continuous use per full charge to comfortably keep up with your busy schedule.
4. Two Essentials in One Premium Accessory
Many of our patients already wear glasses daily. Nuance Audio allows you to combine vision and hearing support in a single accessory, saving time and simplifying your routine. Standard prescription lenses can be easily fitted to the frames. Alternatively, non-prescription versions come equipped with light-responsive Transitions® lenses for everyday comfort and protection from sunlight.
5. Try Before You Commit
One of the best things about coming to Harley Street Hearing is that you don’t have to make a decision in the dark. You can book a demo, try the glasses firsthand, or start with a full hearing assessment with one of our audiologists. We’ll provide unbiased advice to help you decide whether Nuance Audio Glasses or another solution is right for your lifestyle and hearing needs.
