Glasses Double as Hearing Aids

New type of eyeglasses hear
You know what,everyone faces the risk of having hearing problem. Based on the statistics,one of six people have a hearing loss.You may not believe it!Since most people are now wearing glasses and also in the same time have a hearing loss,they need to wear both glasses and hearing aids. So,there is a new invention as the solution for those problem. 











This new glasses allowed users to pick sounds naturally and clearly in the direction in which they are looking. This device can separate sounds from undesired background noise very effectively with the special criteria that natural sound can be heard.





This is the schematic of the hearing glasses. It was embedded with tiny microphones at each of its side. The sound signals from the microphones pass through a special processor before they are conducted to the ear.

What is the advantages of the glasses compared to the traditional hearing aid? 
-Traditional hearing aid collect sounds from all directions,sometimes make user cannot focus on their conversation.
-The glasses separates preferred sounds from the unwanted with twice the sensitivity of the traditional hearing aid.
-Traditional hearing aid was not very comfortable,sometimes makes people put it off.


People in the future will familiar and keep using this device since if they wearing the glasses,nobody would know that they are having hearing loss problem. They assumed that it was an ordinary glasses. Thus,it makes the users feel comfortable and confident with it!

No. It does not have any affect on our ears and eyes. The function of the glasses still the same,to overcome short or long-sightedness. But it has another function,that is microphone at each side of it to overcome hearing problem.

i like his..those people who wearing this spec can free themselves from the noise that they can't bear it..because if ears being exposed with loud sound,worse effect to the part inside the ears such as cochlea(if i'm not mistaken)etc..
