Nuance Audio Glasses are a range of stylish glasses with built-in hearing aid technology, designed for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. They combine vision correction (we offer optional prescription or Transition lenses) with discreet audio enhancement.
To understand more, this US video provides a helpful introduction:
Nuance glasses use tiny directional microphones positioned in the front of the glasses, with beamforming technology to focus on speech in front of you while filtering out background noise. The processed sound is then played through open-ear mini speakers situated in the arms of the glasses just above your ears, so others around you won’t hear it.
You can adjust volume, noise reduction level and listening modes (frontal vs all around) using touch controls on the frames, an app, or a small optional remote.
Each full charge offers up to 8 hours of use, powered by a non-removable lithium-ion battery charged wirelessly on a pad.
In essence, Nuance Audio Glasses allow you to see and hear better in one discreet, fashionable device, blending advanced audio tech with everyday eyewear.
We’re delighted that Hearing Healthcare Practice in Harpenden is the first audiological clinic in the UK to offer Nuance Audio hearing-enhancing glasses. And now, we’re making them available to purchase directly, without the need for a consultation, if that’s what you prefer.
To simplify the process, we’ve created a self-evaluation questionnaire you can complete at home to help determine if Nuance Audio could work for you. Just give us a call or send us an email at [email protected] and we’ll send it over.
We also offer an Online Hearing Test, you can take access the test immediately just click CLICK HERE. It’s a simple automated evaluation but it might help you to get to grips with your hearing and, possibly, indicate the need for a more in-depth assessment.
The test is free, it takes around 5 minutes and the results are immediate. And if you’d like to test out Nuance Audio yourself, you can pop into the Practice or we’ll order a pair for you, either for collection or home delivery.
The frames come ready fitted with photochromic lenses (they darken in sunlight), and the hearing function can be turned on and off via a smartphone app. (We can also arrange prescription lenses for you via our trusted optical partners).
The good news is that if you find they’re not quite right for you, you can return them (some terms and conditions apply). If that happens, we’d encourage you to come in for a more in-depth hearing test so we can explore the other fantastic solutions available to you.
If you decide you’d prefer a full hearing assessment, we’ll talk about your lifestyle and hearing goals and explore whether technology like Nuance is a good fit for you. If it is, we’ll set them up properly, help you get to grips with the app, and make sure you get the most from them. And if there’s something better suited, we’ll be honest about that too.
By providing Nuance Audio glasses to order direct to set-up yourself or as part of an in-depth clinical test is our way of bridging the gap, so that more people can begin their hearing journey in a way that feels comfortable, approachable, and empowering.
