Legato Launches AI Hearing Glasses for Adults with Moderate Hearing Loss
Hearing tech startup Legato has launched its flagship product, the AI-powered hearing glasses called Legato Frames. Priced at $999 and designed to address cost, comfort, and stigma issues associated with traditional hearing aids, these frames use patented technology that distinguishes voices from background noise using artificial intelligence. Unlike conventional directional microphones used in many hearing aids, Legato's system amplifies speech while reducing unwanted sounds. The open-ear design includes a dual-speaker setup to direct sound toward the wearer and minimize external leakage by 99%. Available with prescription lenses and Bluetooth capabilities, these glasses are offered through the company’s website or select eye care providers in the U.S. Legato emerged from stealth mode recently after securing $12 million in funding. The startup was founded in 2024 by Mehul Trivedi and Steve Romine, both with extensive experience in wearables and hearing technology.
