- How long does the battery last between charges?
- Nuance rates it at about eight hours of continuous use under average conditions. A full charge takes roughly three hours, so plan a charging routine if you wear them all day.
- Do I need a prescription to use them?
- No. The hearing electronics work with plain lenses, but you can have prescription lenses fitted if you need vision correction. That is done through a lens provider, not the frame itself.
- Which phones work with the AW5002?
- It pairs over Bluetooth Low Energy with iOS 16.6.1 or later and Android 12 or later. Older phones may not support the app and streaming features.
- How does it compare with a standard hearing aid?
- It targets mild to moderate hearing loss and looks like regular eyewear, which many people prefer. A prescription hearing aid is fitted by an audiologist and is the better choice for severe loss.
- What is the frame size?
- The frame is 48-22, with 47.9 mm lens width, 42.4 mm lens height, a 22 mm bridge and 150 mm temples. That is a medium fit, so try them on if you have a wide or narrow face.
- Can I take calls and listen to music through them?
- Yes. The two speakers and six microphones handle calls and audio streamed from your phone over Bluetooth. Sound is open-ear, so people nearby may hear some of it.
