ESSILORLUXOTTICA present Nuance Audio™ Plus
- By Editorial Team
EssilorLuxottica announces the launch of Nuance Audio™ Plus, the new generation of its invisible, open-ear audio glasses designed for adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. Following the launch of the original Nuance Audio Glasses, the new product combines enhanced audio performance, longer battery life, and a wider selection of frames within a medical device designed to seamlessly fit into people’s everyday lives.
Hearing loss affects approximately 1.6 billion people worldwide, with about 1.25 billion living with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. Yet, nearly 90% of this population has not adopted any hearing solution. By discreetly and naturally integrating hearing technology into everyday eyewear, EssilorLuxottica is helping to address this significant, unmet need with a solution that is virtually indistinguishable from a standard pair of glasses. Nuance Audio Plus represents the latest step in the Group’s ongoing innovation journey within the hearing solutions sector, further expanding the range of choices and performance capabilities available to consumers.
“The response to Nuance Audio Glasses has been extremely positive, confirming that consumers are seeking a more natural and appealing way to access hearing solutions,” said Stefano Genco, Global Head of Nuance Audio. “In just one year, we have expanded our presence in 14 countries with over 18,000 retail locations, reaching consumers who are, on average, five years younger than traditional hearing aid users; two out of three had never previously considered using a traditional hearing aid. With Nuance Audio Plus—our new product generation—we are taking another major step toward our goal of making hearing support a natural part of everyday life.”
Nuance Audio™ Plus will be exhibited at SILMO Paris for the first time. The product will be launched in Italy, France, the UK, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Portugal and the Netherlands.
