At the forefront of innovation in both sight and sound, EssilorLuxottica, under the leadership of Fabrizio Uguzzoni, President of Americas Professional Solutions, is redefining how people experience hearing support with their newest breakthrough: Nuance Audio. Nuance Audio represents a revolutionary approach to hearing solutions seamlessly integrated into eyewear frames. This technology goes beyond the traditional hearing aid, offering a subtle, stylish, and effective solution for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss.
What is Covered
How Nuance Audio Works
Nuance Audio is designed to seamlessly integrate into a stylish eyewear frame, making it virtually invisible. The technology amplifies sound directionally, focusing on what the user looks at, which can significantly improve conversations in crowded or noisy environments. Using a companion app, wearers can adjust volume levels and choose between focused, directional sound or full, 360-degree hearing.
This solution also includes options for those less comfortable with mobile technology: a remote control allows for simple adjustments to volume, mode, and device activation. The magnetic wireless charger adds convenience, ensuring users can recharge their devices effortlessly.
Why Nuance Audio is Ideal for Mild to Moderate Hearing Loss
For people with mild to moderate hearing loss, traditional hearing aids may often be overwhelming, both in functionality and social perception. Nuance Audio offers a more subtle approach, allowing users to amplify sounds precisely and discreetly without drawing attention to their hearing needs. Here are some standout features:
- Invisible and Stylish Design: By integrating into eyeglass frames, Nuance Audio removes the stigma often associated with hearing aids.
- Personalized Sound Experience: The user can toggle between different modes using an app or remote control, offering flexibility based on their environment and preferences.
- Wireless Charging: Nuance Audio devices have a magnetic charger, allowing an easy charging experience.
- Specifically Designed for Mild to Moderate Hearing Loss: Nuance Audio is crafted to meet the needs of those who may not require traditional, full-power hearing aids but still benefit from sound amplification.
The Life-Changing Impact of Nuance Audio
As Dr. Glover observed, wearing Nuance Audio for the first time is similar to someone putting on their first pair of glasses. Patients with mild to moderate hearing loss experience the world with new clarity, enabling them to connect more deeply with those around them. This solution provides newfound confidence to those who may otherwise avoid traditional hearing aids. Nuance Audio team member Fabrizio shared his thoughts on the product’s impact:
Fabrizio Uguzzoni, President Americas Professional Solutions at EssilorLuxottica"Nuance Audio is truly life-changing for people who may be reluctant to use hearing aids due to stigma. When they put these on, the reaction is often immediate — it’s the wow factor of seeing and hearing clearly, all at once."
