Best hearing aid glasses

Top pick: Nuance Audio 5001 Square 54 — the most complete package here: a full-rim prescription-ready frame with the hearing aid built in, six microphones and open-ear speakers, and the strongest user rating of the group. It's the safest choice if you want one pair of glasses that does both jobs and you wear a fairly standard square frame.

Who the others suit:

• Nuance Audio Plus Panthos — the Plus line's longer battery life (10 hours vs 8) if you're out all day and don't want to recharge.
• Nuance Audio 5002 Panthos 48 — a smaller, rounder panthos shape for narrower faces.
• Nuance Audio Square 56 — a wider square fit for larger heads or thicker lenses.
• Nuance Audio Panthos (standard) — the plainest panthos option if you prefer a classic look over the Plus extras.

All of these are over-the-counter style aids meant for mild to moderate loss; if your hearing loss is greater, or you want a proper fitting and tuning, see an audiologist first — these frames won't replace that.
