Nuance Audio Glasses combine stylish eyewear with discreet hearing technology, helping you hear conversations more clearly while keeping your ears completely open.
Directional microphones, open-ear speakers and intelligent sound processing are built directly into the frames—so there is no separate device sitting inside or behind your ears.
Hear better. Look great. Stay connected.
Nuance Audio Glasses are designed for adults with mild to moderate hearing difficulties, particularly those who find it difficult to follow conversation in background noise.
Sound is captured by microphones built into the arms of the glasses, processed and delivered through discreet speakers positioned near your ears.
The open-ear design allows you to continue hearing the natural sounds around you while receiving additional support for speech and conversation.
The hearing technology is integrated into the glasses. There is nothing placed inside your ears and no separate hearing device behind them.
The lightweight speakers sit near the ears rather than inside the ear canals, making Nuance Audio an appealing option for people who dislike the feeling of traditional hearing devices
Directional microphones help emphasise speech coming from in front of you, particularly when you are speaking with someone in a café, restaurant, meeting or other busy environment.
Choose from a selection of contemporary frame shapes and colours. Your glasses may be fitted with:
– Transitions® lenses
– Prescription lenses
– Clear non-prescription lenses
– Sunglass lenses
– Blue-light filtering lenses
Already wear glasses? No problem.
We’ve partnered with Total Eyecare, an independent Tasmanian optometry practice, to make the process simple. Once you’ve selected your Nuance Audio frames, Total Eyecare can fit them with your prescription lenses, ensuring you enjoy both clearer vision and enhanced hearing in the one pair of glasses.
Life is full of conversations worth hearing. From enjoying dinner with friends and catching up with family to participating in work meetings or walking through busy public spaces, Nuance Audio Glasses are designed to help make speech easier to follow. By reducing listening effort, they can help you stay engaged, connected and confident in everyday situations.
Evidence-Based Hearing Technology
A clinical investigation conducted by the National Acoustic Laboratories in Sydney assessed Nuance Audio Glasses in adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing difficulties.
On average, participants achieved a 3.48 dB improvement in speech understanding in noise when wearing Nuance Audio Glasses compared with unaided listening. Participants also consistently preferred using the glasses in challenging real-world environments, with the strongest preference reported in busy café and food-court settings.
Individual outcomes will vary. A professional hearing assessment helps us determine whether Nuance Audio is appropriate for your hearing needs.

The Nuance Audio App allows you to:
Adjust the volume
Select your preferred hearing preset
