Getting began with the Nuance Audio means buying them both on-line or by way of an eyeglasses reseller. With the previous choice, you’ll must have lenses fitted individually, until you need to use the glasses with uncorrected lenses. Solely two body household choices can be found—a squarish model referred to as Audio Sq. (obtainable in two sizes) and a rounder one referred to as Panthos (only one measurement). Each body households are available both black or burgundy, and all choices might be configured with clear, tinted, or Transitions lenses—a prescription eyeglass supplier can put no matter lenses you need in them (at further value). My native LensCrafters configured my Audio Sq. lenses with untinted progressive lenses primarily based on my prescription.
The Nuance Audio eyeglasses are in contrast to any listening to support I’ve examined, so it maybe is smart that the consumer expertise can also be in contrast to any listening to support I’ve examined. There’s no listening to take a look at in Nuance’s cell app. Relatively, it’s as much as the consumer to select from 4 presets, denoted with letters A by way of D. A represents “flat delicate listening to loss” and C is “sloping reasonable listening to loss,” and whereas Nuance gives some description of every of the 4 presets, it largely got here right down to trial and error to see which one helped one of the best. I spent most of my time on preset B, “sloping delicate listening to loss,” which solely enhances increased frequencies.

Extra choices on the app’s house display screen allow you to decrease or increase background noise or depart it as is (I used to be virtually at all times on lowered) and change the audio mode between frontal-amplifying or all-around. An choice to regulate how your individual voice is amplified is buried within the settings menu.
Quantity is without doubt one of the solely issues that may be modified by way of the only button on the glasses themselves, biking by way of three ranges (out of 5 whole) that you just additionally configure throughout the app. Double-tapping the facet of the body switches between front-facing and all-around amplification, however I discovered this motion tough to carry out reliably.
