Nuance Audio will change how people hear and see the world. Nuance Audio redefines the boundaries between sight and sound, offering a lifeline to those entangled in the silent struggle of mild to moderate hearing loss. As they introduce an audiological marvel discreetly embedded within the elegant frame of eyeglasses, they not only challenge the stigma associated with traditional hearing aids but also promise a future where the clarity of sight and sound can be embraced in unison.
In Partnership with EssilorLuxottica
Dr. Darryl Glover reviews Nuance Audio with Fabrizio Uguzzoni, President of North America Wholesale at EssilorLuxottica. This conversation marks the beginning of a new era in optometry, where technology and compassion converge to enhance the human experience in the most invisible yet impactful ways.
What is Covered
What is Nuance Audio?
Dr. Darryl Glover:
As optometrists, we know that sight is among our most precious senses. Yet, closely following that is our sense of hearing, which plays a crucial role in interpreting the world around us. Today, we’re delving into a truly groundbreaking topic, Nuance Audio.
Fabrizio Uguzzoni:
My friend, Nuance Audio, represents the latest technological innovation, seamlessly integrating an audiological device within a pair of eyeglasses frames. Dr. Darryl Glover is wearing the final prototype, which is entirely invisible to the onlooker. This design effectively removes the stigma associated with wearing hearing devices. Users won’t need to wear anything additional; the glasses alone suffice.
How Do Nuance Audio Glasses Work?
They offer directional hearing, amplifying sounds in the wearer’s line of sight. An accompanying app allows users to adjust the volume, choose between directional or 360-degree hearing, and toggle the device on or off as needed. This is especially helpful in noisy environments, like the one we’re in now. The app is designed to aid people with mild to moderate hearing loss, often lacking viable solutions with existing devices.
Dr. Darryl Glover:
This invention is a fantastic option, starting right from our consultation chair, to assist these patients. You’ve outdone yourselves once again.
Fabrizio Uguzzoni:
Indeed, we’re integrating audiology into optometry, bridging a crucial gap. It’s a tremendous opportunity for patients requiring visual and auditory assistance. Thank you.
Nuance Audio Designs
Dr. Darryl Glover:
Absolutely, let’s explore some of the designs you’ve mentioned.
Fabrizio Uguzzoni:
Over here, we have a display showcasing the various styles available. This includes the packaging our customers will receive, featuring two color options: burgundy and black. Each package includes a charger with magnetic wireless charging and a remote control for those less comfortable with technology. The remote allows simple adjustments like volume, mode, and power settings.
Dr. Darryl Glover:
This is truly invaluable. Think about the profound impact of providing someone with glasses for the first time, allowing them to see the world in a new light. Now, we can also offer them the ability to hear better. This technology will transform the lives of the individuals who use it and positively affect those around them.
Nuance Audio In-Store Installation
Fabrizio Uguzzoni:
Additionally, we’re introducing an in-store installation that displays the product and includes a speaker to simulate the sound amplification provided by the glasses. This will help recreate scenarios such as crowded environments or dining in restaurants, allowing patients to experience the benefits firsthand within your practice, and understanding how it works.
