At Cassidy Eyecare, we’re always looking for innovative ways to improve your daily life through better vision and cutting-edge technology. Now, we’re excited to announce that Nuance Audio Glasses are in stock and available to try in-store - making us one of the first practices in New Zealand to offer this revolutionary eyewear.
These smart glasses don’t just help you see clearly. They also enhance your hearing, blending discreet audio technology into a stylish, prescription-ready frame. If you’ve ever wished for a little extra clarity in conversations - especially in noisy places - this may be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
What Are Nuance Audio Glasses?
Nuance Audio Glasses look just like modern, fashionable spectacles, but inside the frame lie tiny speakers and directional microphones designed to:
-
amplify speech
-
reduce background noise
-
improve clarity in social settings
-
support natural, open-ear sound
They are ideal for people who feel they’re “missing parts of the conversation,” but who may not yet require or want traditional hearing aids.
If you already wear glasses, Nuance Audio allows you to combine vision correction and early-stage hearing support in one seamless, everyday device.
How the Technology Works
Nuance Audio uses open-ear acoustic technology, keeping your ears completely unobstructed. Instead of placing anything inside your ear canal, sound is delivered through small speakers positioned along the frame.
Key features include:
✔ Speech Boosting
Enhances voices around you for clearer communication.
✔ Noise Reduction
Helps manage background sound — perfect for restaurants, meetings, or family gatherings.
✔ Comfortable, Discreet Design
All technology is housed within the glasses frame. No visible earpieces, no plugs, no fuss.
✔ Rechargeable & Easy to Use
A full-day battery life depending on usage, and intuitive controls via app.
✔ Cost-Effective
Nuance audio glasses are considerably less expensive than hearing aids
✔ Prescription-Friendly
Cassidy Eyecare can fit your standard prescription lenses, including progressives.
Who Are They For?
You may benefit from Nuance Audio Glasses if you:
-
struggle to follow conversations in noisy environments
-
often ask people to repeat themselves
-
feel hesitant about the look or commitment of hearing aids
-
prefer a subtle, integrated solution
-
already wear glasses and want an all-in-one option
They are best suited for mild to moderate listening difficulties and for anyone wanting more clarity in day-to-day communication.
