Hearing tech startup Legato launches its AI hearing glasses
Legato’s $999 Frames put hearing assistance inside eyewear, with voice isolation handled on-device.
The glasses are built for adults with up to moderate hearing loss and are now on sale through Legato and select U.S. eye care providers. Legato says its system separates voices from background noise, amplifying speech while reducing unwanted sound. The company says the open-ear frames do not use cameras or recording, and that escaped audio is cut by 99% a few inches from the ear. They weigh 34 grams with lenses, run 10-12 hours, support prescriptions and Bluetooth, and follow Legato’s recent $12 million funding reveal. TechCrunch AI's note
