For people with mild or moderate hearing loss, this would be a stylish, single-device option &#8211; <strong>Gael Hannan (Hearing Health Advocate, Author, and TEDx Speaker)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, let\u2019s talk about glasses. People don\u2019t only wear glasses to correct vision, but also to protect their eyes from sun damage. As such, it has become a fashion item. It makes wearing glasses normal without any association with an impairment. And unlike hearing devices, corrective glasses give us 100% eye sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what causes the stigma surrounding hearing loss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Stigma_Associated_with_Hearing_Devices\"><\/span>1.1 Stigma Associated with Hearing Devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stigma surrounding hearing loss is the result of misconceptions such as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Its association with age<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hearing loss can be a normal result of ageing, but many adults and even children can develop hearing loss due to noise exposure, ototoxic medicine, and even from various illnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Its association with impaired intelligence&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you catch only parts of speech, it affects comprehension. Suppose you misheard or misinterpret a message and respond inappropriately, people who don&#8217;t know about your hearing loss, may perceive you as <em>dumb.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Its association with weakness<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people perceive their hearing loss as a weakness because of personal or cultural beliefs. They hide their hearing loss because they fear embarrassment and rejection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that hearing loss is an <strong>invisible disability<\/strong> contributes to this stigma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Education and advocacy is key to eradicate ignorance about hearing loss. It puts the onus on you to declare your hearing loss and educate people so that they can understand why you respond inappropriately sometimes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Through advocacy you teach them that you can have meaningful conversations with reasonable accommodations. <br>You have to make them aware of how tokenism and exclusion affects them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>And the hardest battle, to make them understand the cost of conversations &#8211; constant cognitive and listening fatigue.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this in mind, let\u2019s explore the Nuance hearing glass to see how they operate and who can benefit from using them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_How_Nuance_Hearing_Glasses_Operate_and_Who_Benefits_Most\"><\/span>2.

Through <strong>beamforming<\/strong> they target specific sounds from the environment.&nbsp;The sounds are directed to the wearer\u2019s ears through small speakers. The glasses rely on open-air conduction which can result in sound leakage and reduced clarity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hearing glasses connect to a smartphone app via Bluetooth to enable basic controls such as program and volume adjustments. The frame also has a multi-function button to adjust volume and turn the glasses off. The user uses a tap control to change the mode. It only allows for four pre-set programs and two audio modes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a basic explanation, but what is <strong>beamforming?<\/strong> Is this the secret ingredient to their cutting edge innovation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"23_The_Mechanics_of_Beamforming\"><\/span>2.3 The Mechanics of Beamforming&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beamforming is used in hearing aids to focus on the direction of a targeted sound. People with hearing loss often struggle to distinguish between a speaker and background noise &#8211; with or without hearing aids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hearing aids with directional microphones use beamforming to focus on wanted versus unwanted sounds. It aims to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), by creating a hearing aid listening sensitivity pattern that responds to signals from the target sound (normally speech).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The microphones are <strong>omni-directional<\/strong>, and directionality is achieved through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Physically<\/strong> shaping and positioning the microphones during the hardware development phase;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Electrically<\/strong> using analog delay circuits;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mathematically<\/strong> using digital signal processing (DSP) during development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For hearing aids, beamforming focuses on sound waves and involves multiple microphones, calle a microphone array.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beamforming is a complex concept, but this explains the basics for the scope of this article. However, we can conclude that beamforming is not an unique feature in the Nuance hearing glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"24_Who_Benefits_from_Nuance_Hearing_Glasses\"><\/span>2.4 Who Benefits from Nuance Hearing Glasses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nuance developed their hearing glasses for people with mild to moderate hearing loss, or individuals that struggle to understand speech in noise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, Nuance also recommends their hearing glasses for normal hearing people that want to ease listening effort in a noisy environment or with multiple speakers. Microphones hidden in glasses help because it amplifies sounds from the direction the wearer is facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides functionality, Nuance also promotes their hearing glasses for people who value style and appearance, and prefer products that align with their taste and make them feel confident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that we explored how Nuance hearing glasses work, and who they are for, let\u2019s look if the hidden hearing technology in Nuance is a bridge to treatment, or only a shelter for stigma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_25_Invisible_Technology_Bridge_to_Treatment_Versus_Shelter_for_Stigma\"><\/span>&nbsp;2.5 Invisible Technology: Bridge to Treatment Versus Shelter for Stigma&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hearing loss advocate, <strong>Anna Kirton<\/strong> sees Nuance as an <em>entry-level way<\/em> for people to accept their hearing loss and get treatment earlier, but she argues that keeping hearing loss hidden delays empowerment and self-advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Author and Audiologist Keith &#8220;Earman&#8221; Chittleborough sees the Nuance as <em>\u201ca viable entry point.\u201d<\/em> He says <em>\u201cNuance is no more physically discreet than many hearing aids &#8211; they are in fact more visible than most &#8211; but it is psychologically different.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I find interesting in this quote is that Keith says: <em>More visible than most\u2026\u201d.<\/em> But we need to remember that what is visible, in this case, is the glasses. The hearing technology is still hidden.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Keith the psychology between hearing glasses and hearing aids are different. Hearing glasses are an option <em>\u201cwithout the burden of association given to the term<\/em> <strong><em>hearing aid<\/em><\/strong><em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But here is the concern: When they provide <strong>invisibility<\/strong> through their hearing glasses, do they remove a barrier for treatment, or contribute to the stigma around hearing loss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_clinical_perspective_The_vital_step_of_professional_diagnosis_before_self-treating\"><\/span>3. The clinical perspective: The vital step of professional diagnosis before self-treating.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an OTC product Nuance hearing glasses doesn\u2019t require a formal hearing test, but you can use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nuanceaudio.com\/en-us\/hearing-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nuance online hearing test<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I did extensive research on hearing loss when writing <a href=\"https:\/\/silentcourageauthor.com\/books-beyond#ed-3746137344\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Silent Courage: An Introvert\u2019s Authentic Journey with Hearing Loss<\/em>.<\/a> Considering the intricacy of our hearing system, and the complexity of hearing loss, I believe that diagnostic hearing tests are crucial for proper treatment of hearing loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"31_The_Importance_of_Diagnostic_Hearing_Testing\"><\/span>3.1 The Importance of Diagnostic Hearing Testing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>comprehensive audiology evaluation<\/strong> doesn\u2019t only test your hearing ability, but also tests for possible balance issues. The audiologist can determine the location of your hearing loss. They also check if your hearing is at age appropriate levels, and determine its type, degree, and configuration. All this information is crucial to develop the best treatment plan. For example, a cochlear implant for profound hearing loss, hearing aids for mild to severe sensorineural hearing loss, or medical intervention for temporary conductive hearing loss.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tympanometry<\/strong> checks the middle ear for blockages, which can often be treated with medicine or surgery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Audiologists also test <strong>stapedial reflexes and reflex decay<\/strong>. It refers to the auditory nerve\u2019s ability to send hearing signals to the brain. Blockages require medical intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Auditory evoked potential or brainstem response evaluation<\/strong> measures electrical nerve impulses that carry sound from the ear to the brain. The audiologist determines how sound is transmitted to the brain and checks for blockages or interruptions to the nerve impulses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>sentence-in-noise test<\/strong> is crucial to compare your performance during conversations in noisy environments with people with normal hearing. It helps your audiologist to select the right type of hearing aid for your specific hearing loss profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>otoacoustic emissions test<\/strong> determines the function of the outer hair cells in the inner ear. Otoacoustic emissions are acoustic signals generated by the inner ear &#8211; in absence of or in response to acoustic stimulation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our hearing system is very delicate and complex. Self-diagnostic tests give very simple and generic results. It also fails to account for incorrect user input. These tests cannot detect physical issues like blockages or deformities. Relying on these tests to customise OTC devices are very hit or miss. You\u2019ll never get the optimal results you would have with a hearing device properly fitted by an audiologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Real-World_Performance_Clarity_and_Technical_Limitations\"><\/span><strong>4. Real-World Performance, Clarity, and Technical Limitations<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nuance hearing glasses are only an option for people with mild hearing loss. People with moderate hearing loss may struggle because of insufficient amplification.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EssilorLuxottica says the Nuance hearing glasses \u201cintegrates a <strong>discreet<\/strong>, open-hearing system into a pair of glasses, with the option to add prescription lenses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I read about the advantages of the Nuance hearing glasses, for me it actually looks like disadvantages and this is why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It is hidden and discreet. Nobody can tell you\u2019re wearing a hearing aid<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it may encourage people to seek treatment for hearing loss earlier, doesn\u2019t it also contribute to the stigma of hearing loss by keeping it invisible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It is not uncomfortable like earbuds or earmolds.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sunglasses may be fashionable and comfortable, but if you have very weak eye sight, compressed lenses in prescription glasses are hardly comfortable<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The convenience of one device handling vision and hearing<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Removing them leaves you <a href=\"https:\/\/silentcourageauthor.com\/silent-scribbles\/solitude-and-isolation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">isolated <\/a>and vulnerable.

Cost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am not a candidate for these hearing glasses because I have moderate to severe hearing loss. But I do have weak eye sight and wear prescriptive glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For argument sake, I want to create some practical use scenarios.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For our practical use case, a person with mild hearing loss and very weak sight must decide between the Nuance hearing glasses with prescription lenses, or traditional hearing aids with prescription lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> All values are in US dollars.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td colspan=\"2\"><strong>Scenario 1: Nuance with Prescription Lenses&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td colspan=\"2\"><strong>Scenario 2: Traditional Hearing Aids with Separate Prescription Glasses&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Nuance Hearing Glasses (frame with hearing technology)<\/strong><\/td><td>$1,200&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Traditional Hearing Aids + Hearing Test &amp; Fitting<\/strong><\/td><td>$2124 <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Prescription Lenses &amp; Coatings<\/strong><\/td><td>$798 <\/td><td><strong>Frame, Lenses, and Coatings<\/strong><\/td><td>$860 <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Total<\/strong><\/td><td>$1,998 <\/td><td><strong>Total<\/strong><\/td><td>$2984 <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That <strong>$986 <\/strong>initial difference makes you strongly lean toward the Nuance glasses, doesn\u2019t it? But consider the long-term trade-offs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prescription hearing aids can last from 3 to 6 years, while prescription glasses need replacement every second year. With Nuance hearing glasses, it means you can\u2019t just upgrade your prescription lenses, you need to buy a new Nuance frame as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prescription hearing aids have high IP ratings to withstand sweat, earwax, and accidental moisture exposure, which the Nuance hearing glasses don&#8217;t have. Should they get damaged due to moisture, once again you are faced with replacing the complete combo.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traditional hearing aids are modular units, which means the electronic components can be replaced and regular services can extend the lifespan of your device, which is not the case with Nuance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, let\u2019s look at a scenario covering a 6-year timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\" colspan=\"2\"><strong>Scenario 3: Cost Over a 6-Year Timeline<\/strong><br>upgrading prescription lenses every 2 years<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Nuance Hearing Glasses + Prescription Lenses Path<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Hearing Aids &amp; Separate Glasses Path&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Nuance frames + prescription lenses x 3<\/strong><br>$1,998 x 3<\/td><td><strong>Once off hearing aids + (frame &amp; prescription glasses) x3<\/strong><br>$2124 + ($798 x 3)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><br><strong>Total:&nbsp;<\/strong>$5,994 <br><\/td><td><strong>Total:<\/strong> $4,518<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now we are looking at a <strong>$1476<\/strong> difference in favour of separate devices. We see that separate devices have definite cost benefits over the long term, and in the case of hearing aids also offer durability, repairability, and ongoing customisation for optimal hearing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Let the debate begin: Nuance hearing glasses versus hearing aids?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ll take hearing aids anytime. Although HearAdvisor gave a good rating for Nuance for speech in quiet and noisy environments, it doesn\u2019t offer an all-round solution. It feels like something you\u2019ll only use in certain situations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main marketing point of Nuance &#8211; <strong>hidden and discreet<\/strong> &#8211; is what concerns me most. Sure, it may encourage people to seek treatment for their hearing loss sooner, but keeps it invisible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since hearing loss is often progressive, what happens when hearing declines, and you don\u2019t have the option of invisible hearing aids? You now know the benefits of hearing treatment, so it is not so easy to just say no. Effectively, the hearing glasses have just delayed something that you could have more easily come to terms earlier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My main concern is still that keeping the focus on <em>discreet<\/em> hearing aids only contributes to the stigma surrounding hearing loss, and keeping hearing loss <em>invisible.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the Nuance hearing glasses provide an option for people to seek hearing loss treatment earlier, it also has drawbacks like lack of Bluetooth and accessibility options, according to Lisa Seerup (President of Hearing New Zealand.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking an online hearing test will never enable you to customise your Nuance hearing glasses (or any OTC hearing device) for optimal hearing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is crucial that you have a comprehensive audiological exam to determine the type and degree of your hearing loss. If the audiologist feels the Nuance is a viable option, they can recommend it. They can also help you to customise it according to your hearing test.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would love to hear from you. Share your opinion about Nuance hearing glasses and if it is something you would consider as a viable treatment for hearing loss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-2&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading has-icon has-icon-right\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bibliography\"><\/span><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-2-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" id=\"accordion-item-2\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Bibliography<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-2\" data-wp-bind--hidden=\"state.isHidden\" data-wp-on--beforematch=\"actions.handleBeforeMatch\" id=\"accordion-item-2-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bee, M.
