Background

Nuance Audio is part of EssilorLuxottica, a global leader in eyewear innovation. Rather than creating a traditional hearing aid, Nuance has taken a different approach by combining hearing support and eyewear into a single device. The goal is to help people hear conversations more clearly without wearing anything in or behind their ears. Nuance Audio Plus™ is the next generation of the company's FDA-cleared hearing glasses designed for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. Using directional microphones and open-ear speakers built into the frame, the glasses help amplify conversations while maintaining awareness of the world around you. The result is a discreet hearing solution that looks and feels like everyday eyewear while helping you stay connected to the people and moments that matter most.

What's New

Nuance Audio Plus™ builds on the original hearing glasses platform with improvements to sound quality, battery life, comfort, and convenience.

  • ‍Improved Hearing Performance: One of the biggest upgrades is enhanced sound quality. Nuance Audio Plus offers stronger amplification, improved speech clarity in background noise, and a more natural perception of your own voice. These improvements help create a richer and more comfortable hearing experience throughout the day. ‍
  • Directional Hearing Support: Using directional microphones and beamforming technology, Nuance Audio Plus is designed to emphasize conversations in front of you while reducing distractions from surrounding sounds. This can be especially helpful in restaurants, family gatherings, and other social situations where speech can be difficult to follow. ‍
  • Longer Battery Life: The updated platform features improved battery performance designed for up to 10 hours of use. A charging pad makes recharging simple whether you're at home, at work, or on the go. ‍
  • New Frames and Colors: Nuance Audio Plus expands the style options available to consumers. In addition to the Panthos and Upturn designs, a new Square frame has been added along with additional color options, giving you more opportunities to find a look that fits your personal style. ‍
  • Easier Everyday Controls: The Nuance Audio Plus generation introduces dedicated on-frame controls including a power switch and volume buttons, making adjustments easier without needing to access a smartphone. You can also continue to manage settings through the Nuance Audio app.

Rechargeability

Enjoy simple, hassle-free wireless charging with the Nuance Audio charging pad. Just place your glasses on the pad to keep them powered and ready for everyday use. Designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle, its sleek, modern look complements any desk, nightstand, or countertop while providing a convenient and reliable charging experience.

Bluetooth Connectivity

Nuance Audio Plus introduces additional connectivity features designed to make everyday communication easier. When paired with a compatible iPhone®, you can answer and end phone calls directly from your glasses by simply tapping the frame. This hands-free calling functionality allows conversations to feel more natural without reaching for the phone.

It’s worth noting this feature is not available with Android phones yet, and the Nuance Audio Plus is not designed to function like traditional Bluetooth streaming hearing aids for music, podcasts, and media. Instead, the connectivity features focus primarily on hearing support, device control, and voice calling.

Nuance Audio App

Take control of your hearing experience with the Nuance Audio app, compatible with Apple or Android. Easily adjust settings, personalize sound preferences, manage background noise, and check battery life, all from your smartphone. Whether you're in a crowded restaurant or catching up with friends at home, the app helps you tailor your listening experience so you can focus on what matters most. Designed with simplicity in mind, it's an easy way to get the most from your Nuance Audio glasses.

Who Is Nuance Audio Plus Glasses Best For?

Nuance Audio Plus may be an excellent choice for people who:

  • Have mild to moderate hearing loss who already wear glasses and would prefer a combined hearing and vision solution
  • Want discreet hearing support that looks like everyday eyewear and can provide better speech clarity in social environments

How Setup Works

Once you pair the glasses with the app, you’ll go through a short calibration process where the glasses learn how to aim sound into your ears that helps optimize how sound is directed toward your ears. Then, you choose from four preset programs labeled A through D—each one tuned for different hearing profiles.

You can also adjust background noise levels and switch between frontal and all-around microphone modes. Volume can be controlled in the app or with the dedicated buttons on the arm of the glasses.

Battery life is up to 10 hours, depending on background noise. This is shorter than traditional hearing aids, so some users may need to recharge midday or turn off amplification when not in use.

Note: Every Soundly purchase includes an optional setup call with one of Soundly’s Hearing Care experts. We're here to support you at every step, if you need us.

Our Overall Thoughts

Nuance Audio Plus stands out as one of the most unique hearing products available today. Rather than competing directly with traditional hearing aids, it offers an alternative approach for people who may not be ready for hearing aids or simply prefer a different form factor. By combining hearing support and eyewear into a single product, Nuance helps remove a common barrier to hearing technology adoption. We particularly like the improvements made in the Plus generation, including better speech clarity, stronger amplification, longer battery life, easier controls, and hands-free calling with a compatible Apple iOS phone. For adults with mild to moderate hearing difficulties who already wear glasses, the convenience of combining two devices into one can be very appealing. The primary trade-off is that Nuance Audio Plus is not intended to replace a prescription hearing aid for people with more significant hearing loss or those seeking advanced features such as Bluetooth media streaming and highly customized hearing programs. However, for the right user, it offers one of the most innovative and approachable hearing solutions on the market today.
