Discover Nuance Audio
Nuance Audio combines EssilorLuxottica's sound engineering with the design of a proper pair of glasses. The result is an elegant, discreet hearing aid that brings together what you see and what you hear in a single piece, easing the effort of following conversations when there's noise around you.
Use cases
Made for everyday life
They help most where understanding is hardest. Three moments where they make the difference:
At work
Fast meetings and noisy offices: they reduce listening fatigue so you stay sharp and confident all day.
At a restaurant
Background chatter stops drowning out the person across from you. You follow the table without asking people to repeat.
With family
Meals and gatherings with several voices at once: you join in again without missing half of what's said.
Technology
What's inside
Directional microphones with beamforming
An array of microphones on the front of the frame isolates the voices in front of you and dampens surrounding noise. It's the same directional 'beam' technology advanced hearing aids use to understand better in noisy places.
Open-ear speakers, nothing in the ear
Sound comes from tiny speakers hidden in the tip of each temple, just above your ear. They don't block the ear canal: you still hear the rest of your surroundings naturally, with no tubes, moulds or visible wires.
App with 4 programs and 5 levels
From the Nuance Audio app you pick one of 4 listening profiles (A–D) and adjust amplification across 5 levels to suit the situation. You also manage noise reduction and receive firmware updates that improve the device over time.
Rechargeable, up to ~8 hours
They give around 8 hours of active listening per charge. You charge them like any device and, since they're glasses, you wear them all day without anyone noticing they also help you hear.
Models
Three models, all take a prescription
Three acetate frames, unisex, with the same audio system. Each in glossy black, deep blue or burgundy red.
Square 54
Panthos 48
Square 56
Lenses
Transitions lenses or your prescription
They come with a Transitions photochromic lens (darkens in the sun, clears indoors) or a demo lens ready for your prescription. If you need your power, choose it in the configurator when adding the product and we fit single-vision or progressive lenses before shipping. One pair to see and hear better.
