Hearing help with nothing in your ear: frame microphones plus SpeechSense AI isolate the voice you are facing from background noise · 5 pros & 4 cons

Legato Frames put hearing assistance inside ordinary-looking prescription glasses: microphones in the frame pick up speech from where you look, the SpeechSense AI separates voices from background noise in real time, and open-ear speakers play the result privately toward your ears -- nothing sits in your ear canal. They have no cameras and, per Legato, cannot record your conversations. The frames weigh 27 grams without lenses, run 10+ hours per charge (a 30-minute top-up adds about 2 hours), recharge on a wireless pad, and connect over Bluetooth 5.3 for music and calls on iOS and Android. Prescription lenses are built in at order time, covering about -10.0 to +5.0 -- the main number on your glasses prescription. Three styles: Symphony and Harmony at $999, Aria at $1,099. Legato, founded by the creator of Bose Frames, pitches this against prescription hearing care it says averages $3,400 and up.
