EssilorLuxottica has launched Nuance Audio Plus, the next generation of its open-ear hearing glasses for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss.

Building on the original Nuance Audio Glasses, the new model introduces several updates that are designed to enhance hearing performance, usability, and style, including:

• Enhanced audio performance with open-ear speakers built into the temples

• Directional microphones and beamforming technology

• Improved amplification, speech clarity in noise, and perception of the wearer’s own voice

• Approximately 10 hours of battery life under average conditions

• On-frame power and volume controls

• Hands-free calling when paired with a compatible iPhone

• An expanded selection of frame styles and colors

The collection comprises 3 frame styles—Square 53, Panthos 48, and Upturn 52—in shiny black, shiny burgundy, deep blue, amber, and olive green. An expanded size range, universal fitting, and adjustable nose pads on select styles provide additional fit options.

Nuance Audio Plus can accommodate any type of optical lens and can also be paired with Transitions lenses. A charging pad and USB-C cable are included, while a dedicated remote control is available separately.

The original Nuance Audio Glasses collection will remain available alongside the new line.
