“They have been great for my marriage. TV is played at a normal volume now, no more ‘blaring’ when we watch together. I no longer have to bug her constantly asking ‘what?’”

FAQ
Questions, answered
Will people be able to tell?
They look like regular glasses. The hearing technology sits inside the arms, with nothing up front and nothing in your ears. As Doug B. put it, “When I’m out to dinner, nobody knows I’m wearing anything.”
Is it safe to buy hearing glasses online instead of in a store?
Yes. Legato was founded by the team that built Bose Frames and launched the first over-the-counter hearing aid. Upload or enter your prescription at checkout, and your glasses arrive in 5 to 10 days on average. You fine-tune your sound in the Legato app, with free expert support for life.
Do Legato glasses have cameras or record anything?
No. There are no cameras and nothing is recorded, so there’s nothing to store. Speech is processed on the glasses in real time.
Do Legato glasses work with Android phones?
Yes. Legato supports hands-free calls and audio streaming on both iPhone and Android.
Who is Legato not for?
Legato is an over-the-counter hearing aid for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. It is not for severe hearing loss. If that is you, see an audiologist first. For everyone else, there is no hearing test and no appointment. You fine-tune your sound in the Legato app in minutes, and our US-based audiologist team, led by Dr. Thea Wickey, AuD, is there whenever you want help.
Can I pay with my HSA or FSA?
Yes. Legato glasses are HSA and FSA eligible.
What if they’re not right for me?
Every pair comes with a 45-day risk-free trial. If they’re not right, send them back for a full refund, lenses included. We do it this way because the only hearing test that counts is your own dinner table.
