EssilorLuxottica is developing a new product that will embed high-quality hearing technology into prescription eyeglasses, the company announced in a press release.
“Our proprietary hardware and software, combined with our design and manufacturing capabilities, will enable us to pair hearing solutions and prescription glasses into one groundbreaking product, and to bring it to market everywhere through our open network model,” Francesco Milleri, Essilor Luxottica CEO and chairman, and Paul du Saillant, the company’s deputy CEO, said in the release. “As we did in the vision space, we will be the first to remove the stigma of traditional hearing solutions, replacing it with comfort and style.”
According to the release, the audio component of the eyeglasses will be completely invisible, removing social or psychological barriers that often discourage consumers from using traditional hearing aids.
The company plans to launch the new eyeglasses in the second half of 2024 and aims to make the technology available in 150 countries.
