The FDA's new regulations allowing OTC hearing aids have inspired innovations like EssilorLuxottica's Nuance Audio glasses, designed to cater to those with mild to moderate hearing loss. These stylish glasses double as hearing aids without looking like traditional devices. However, while promoting accessibility, they lack the personalization of custom hearing aids and may cause discomfort due to their additional weight. The rise of such products reflects an ongoing trend to make hearing aids more affordable and user-friendly for everyday consumers.
"Nuance Audio's mission is to provide wearers with an all-in-one device that aids eyesight and hearing corrections in a stylish and discreet design."
"OTC hearing aids lack personalization, but they can help decrease the costs associated with trips to audiologists or the creation of custom hearing aids."
