Listening shouldn’t be hard work. The new Nuance AudioTM Plus glasses combines stylish eyewear with enhanced, discreet open-ear listening support.
Restaurants seem louder. Airports, busier. Family gatherings, larger. Conversations unfold against a soundtrack of music, clinking glasses, laughter and overlapping voices, its volume increasing with every outing. Bottom line: When listening feels harder, it’s not always our hearing that’s changed — the world around us is changing, too.
Fortunately, listening technology is evolving right along with it. Advancing its initial innovative collection, Nuance AudioTM has introduced Nuance AudioTM Plus, the next generation of assistive listening glasses. With enhanced audio performance, longer battery life and an expanded range of styles, its invisible open-ear technology is built directly into everyday eyewear, helping people see clearly, listen comfortably — and stay engaged in the world around them.
A New Category of Wellness
We’ve learned to be proactive about so many aspects of our well-being from protecting our vision to prioritizing sleep, nutrition and fitness. Listening deserves the same level of attention. Research suggests that many adults experience some degree of hearing difficulty, often without even recognizing it.
Nuance AudioTM Plus Glasses are designed for exactly those everyday moments when conversations require more effort than they should. In clinical research conducted with Western University, the original Nuance AudioTM Glasses demonstrated up to a 29% improvement in speech understanding in challenging acoustic environments — those bustling activities with background noise seemingly on blast. The new generation offers enhanced amplification, improved speech clarity in noisy environments and a more natural perception of the wearer’s own voice — all through discreet listening support that fits seamlessly into daily life.
Designed Around Real Life
Because not every situation requires the same kind of listening support, Nuance AudioTM Plus features two audio modes that help you adapt to your surroundings using directional microphones and open-ear speakers.
Hosting a dinner where you want to focus on the conversation across the table? Frontal Mode helps enhance sounds and speech directly in front of you, making it easier to follow conversations when background noise competes for attention.
Navigating a bustling area where you need to be aware of what’s happening around you? All Around Mode amplifies sounds and speech from all directions, helping you stay connected to life as it unfolds.
For a more personalized experience, the Nuance AudioTM App offers four pre-configured amplification presets, three levels of background noise reduction and five volume settings. New on-frame controls, including dedicated power and volume buttons, make adjustments even easier throughout the day.
Eyewear That Looks as Good As It Performs
Eyeglasses have always been a reflection of personal style. That’s why Nuance AudioTM Plus glasses look and feel like everyday eyewear, available in sophisticated silhouettes (Square 53, Panthos 48 and Upturn 52) and colours (Shiny Black, Shiny Burgundy, Deep Blue, Amber and Olive Green) to suit the wearer’s own fashion sense. They can be customized with prescription, blue-light filtering or Transition lenses to suit your daily routine, whether you move regularly from indoors to out or spend considerable time in front of a screen. Plus, an expanded range of sizes and adjustable nose pads on select styles make finding a comfortable fit even easier.
From looks to listening, Nuance AudioTM Plus is where thoughtful design meets effortless functionality, ushering in a new kind of everyday confidence.
Put to The Test by Team Zoomer
Zoomer’s Executive Creative Director Tanya Watt put the original Nuance AudioTM Glasses to the test at an event celebrating their Canadian launch, at a dinner in a lively Toronto restaurant filled with conversation, music and background noise. The award-winning innovation — named among TIME’s 100 Best Inventions and recognized with a SILMO d’Or award for Smart Eyewear — was designed for exactly these kinds of everyday environments. “For me, the biggest takeaway was the sense of ease they created. I could see these becoming my go-to glasses for dinners, parties and events, not because I struggle to hear, but because sometimes hearing more clearly means connecting more fully,” she says.
Our takeaway? Nuance AudioTM isn’t about changing how you experience the world — they’re about making it easier to stay connected to it.
