Hearing glasses bring eyewear and hearing technology together in one frame. They offer another way to explore hearing support, particularly for people who feel hesitant about conventional hearing aids or prefer a solution that works with glasses. Products differ in how they support hearing, so Canberra Hearing can help you understand the options and consider what may suit your hearing, vision and day-to-day needs.

A different way to explore hearing support

Some people feel hesitant about hearing aids because of how they look, feel or may be perceived. Hearing glasses offer another style of support, with hearing technology integrated into a pair of glasses. If you feel you could benefit from hearing support but are not ready to consider a conventional hearing aid, this may be an option to explore with our team.

How hearing glasses work

Hearing glasses combine eyewear with hearing technology built into the frame. The way sound is picked up, processed and delivered varies by product. Some models use microphones in the frame and open-ear speakers, with settings adjusted through buttons or an app. We can explain how each option works and what to expect in everyday listening situations.

Featured hearing glasses: Nuance Audio

Nuance Audio brings eyewear and open-ear hearing support together. The Australian range includes Nuance Audio Glasses and Nuance Audio Plus, with features that vary by model. At Canberra Hearing, we can help you explore the range and check which options are available locally.

Could hearing glasses suit you?

Hearing glasses may be worth exploring if you find it difficult to follow conversation in some situations and would like to consider a glasses-based option. A hearing assessment gives us a clearer picture of your hearing and helps us discuss whether hearing glasses, another type of hearing aid or a different approach may suit you better.

What to consider

We can talk about the listening situations that matter to you, how the frames feel, available lens options and whether you are comfortable adjusting settings in an app. Suitability and local availability depend on the model and your individual needs, so Canberra Hearing can help you check the details before you decide.

Our approach

At Canberra Hearing, we see hearing glasses as an interesting addition to the options available, rather than the right answer for everyone. As an independent clinic, we are not tied to one manufacturer. Our role is to understand what matters to you, explain the choices clearly and help you decide what feels right.

If you would like to find out more, book an appointment with Canberra Hearing in Macquarie. We can talk through your hearing, your glasses and the situations you would most like to make easier.
