New at Mackey Opticians: Nuance Audio Glasses — See Clearly, Hear More Naturally
We’re excited to introduce Nuance Audio Glasses — an innovative new option for people who wear glasses and want a little help hearing in everyday situations. These stylish frames combine clear vision with discreet hearing support to make conversations easier in social environments like cafés, restaurants, or family gatherings.
What Are Nuance Audio Glasses?
Nuance Audio Glasses are lightweight spectacles with built-in hearing support technology. Tiny, directional microphones and discreet speakers are integrated into the temple arms to help make speech clearer, especially in busy or noisy places — all without the need for traditional in-ear devices.
Unlike conventional hearing aids that fit in or behind the ear, Nuance Audio glasses deliver sound through open-ear speakers while still allowing you to hear your surroundings naturally. They are designed for adults with mild to moderate hearing difficulty and are particularly helpful for people who already wear glasses.

Who Might Benefit?
These glasses are ideal for people who:
Struggle to hear speech clearly in places like restaurants or busy shops
Prefer a discreet solution without tiny in-ear components
Wear glasses regularly and would enjoy combining vision and hearing support in one device
They are not a substitute for a full audiological hearing aid for more significant hearing loss, but they offer a comfortable and stylish option for everyday listening needs.
How They Work
Nuance Audio combines vision and hearing support in one frame by using built-in technology that:
Picks up sound from your environment with directional microphones
Delivers enhanced audio through open-ear speakers
Lets you customise settings via a smartphone app to focus on speech or reduce background noise based on your environment
All of this happens while you’re wearing glasses that look and feel like regular eyewear.
Try Them at Mackey Opticians
Nuance Audio Glasses are now available at Mackey Opticians Bangor, with demonstrations offered in-practice so you can hear the difference for yourself.
While Holywood and some of our other practices provide full hearing assessments with an audiologist to help guide the most suitable solution, you’re very welcome to come into any participating practice to discuss whether Nuance Audio might suit your lifestyle and listening needs.

Not Sure What You Need?
If you’re unsure whether Nuance Audio Glasses are right for you, our team can help:
