Announcing musician and actor Martin Kemp as the brand’s ambassador, a new article in The Times,‘The Hearing Aid that’s Pop Star Approved’, explains more about the launch of Nuance Audio hearing glasses and features our Chief Visionary Officer, Robert Beiny. The piece recognises both the growing prevalence of hearing loss in the UK and the innovative approach that Nuance Audio offers for those seeking discreet, practical hearing support.
Hearing Healthcare Founder, Robert Beiny has been directly involved in providing context and messaging around the introduction of Nuance glasses, bringing his expertise to the roll out of the technology. Nuance Audio glasses aim to combine advanced hearing enhancement technology with stylish eyewear, offering a solution for individuals who may be reluctant to use traditional hearing aids.
Martin Kemp, formerly of Spandau Ballet and perhaps best known for his role as Steve Owen on EastEnders, spoke to The Times about his own experience with hearing loss, which began during decades of live music performance. Kemp explained that high-volume stages and prolonged exposure contributed to his reduced hearing in one ear. Wearing Nuance Audio glasses has had a profound impact, allowing him to hear conversations more clearly, enjoy everyday sounds like birdsong, and engage socially without stress.
Robert Beiny then explained the importance of early intervention:
“Hearing loss is far more common than many people realise, and yet it often goes unnoticed. It is estimated to be the second most common disability in the UK, and recent data suggests it now affects one in three adults when including those with hearing loss in just one ear. Many people delay seeking help for almost nine years, which can reduce the benefits of intervention. Early support is critical for communication, general wellbeing, and healthy cognitive ageing.”
Nuance Audio glasses feature directional microphones, adjustable volume, and background noise filtering, all integrated discreetly into the frame arms. The open-ear design ensures comfort while keeping wearers connected to the world around them, and an accompanying app allows users to focus on the person they are speaking to or maintain an all-around listening experience. Robert noted that this approach addresses a common barrier for people with hearing difficulties: the stigma often associated with traditional hearing aids.
For Martin Kemp, the technology has, he says, been life-changing. He says that wearing the glasses has made social interactions easier, improved his enjoyment of television, and even enhanced the experience of being with his family. His experience demonstrates how innovative, well-designed hearing solutions can improve quality of life, confidence, and independence.
