Legato launched Legato Frames, the first AI-based hearing glasses. They combine prescription lenses with AI-powered hearing aids. The device uses SpeechSense AI to separate speech from background noise in real time. It supports Bluetooth streaming for calls and music on iPhone and Android. Frames are available in three styles, including Aria, with premium materials. They weigh as little as 34 grams and offer 10-12 hours of battery life. Legato Frames are FDA-regulated over-the-counter hearing aids. They start at $999 and can be bought online at legatohearing.com. They will soon be sold through select eyecare providers. HearAdvisor gave them a SoundScore of 4.6 out of 5 in May 2026 testing.
