Will Nuance Audio™ Glasses help me while watching TV or talking on the phone?
When watching TV, the effectiveness of the product depends on acoustic variables like the direction of the speakers, the location of the TV (near/far from the wall) and other factors. We recommend you watch TV with the audio on (try both "frontal" and "all-around" audio modes) and see if that helps.

While this may vary depending on your surroundings (such as the absence of barriers and background noise), Nuance Audio™ Glasses's amplification of nearby sounds is estimated to have a range up to 3 meters.

What should I do when wearing Nuance Audio™ Glasses for the first time?
After completing the necessary preliminary steps, hence having the Nuance Audio™ App correctly installed within your smartphone, we suggest following these recommendations to optimize your listening support:
1. Calibrate your Glasses:
If you haven't done so yet, calibrate your hearing Glasses to tailor them to your voice and head's shape. Please remember to do this process in a silent room.
2. Customize Your Settings in the App:
• Presets: Choose between four presets (A, B, C, or D) that adapt to your hearing needs and environment for a better sound experience.
• Volume Levels: Adjust the volume levels to suit your preferences.
• Background Noise: Decide how much background noise you want to hear—low, medium, or high.
• Audio Mode: Choose between:
• Frontal Mode: Focus amplification on sounds coming from the front.
• All-around Mode: Amplify sounds or speech from all directions.
Important Notes:
• Adjustment Period:
It may take a short time to get accustomed to the new amplification, but typically no longer than a few days. It's common to perceive your own voice differently. These sensations are normal and should diminish as you adapt to improved audibility.
• Don’t Worry:
If the sound feels unnatural initially, remember that this is a normal part of the adjustment process, and you will become accustomed to it with regular use.
