EssilorLuxottica Launches Nuance Audio Plus Hearing Glasses with Extended Battery Life and New Styles

EssilorLuxottica has launched Nuance Audio Plus, the newest generation of its open-ear hearing glasses designed for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. The update features extended battery life, enhanced audio amplification, improved speech clarity in noise, and better own-voice perception. New design elements include intuitive on-frame controls with dedicated power and volume buttons, options for charging on-the-go, and the ability to manage voice calls when paired with compatible iPhones. The portfolio now includes three styles—Square 53, Panthos 48, and Upturn 52—in five colours and various sizes. Users can control the device via the Nuance Audio app, on-frame controls, or a separate remote, allowing customization of amplification settings and audio modes. The frames support any type of optical lenses. EssilorLuxottica stated that the previous Nuance Audio model remains available. Global head Stefano Genco noted that the brand has expanded to 14 countries and over 18,000 stores in one year, reaching consumers who are younger than traditional hearing-aid users.
