听力科技初创公司 Legato 于周三走出隐身模式，宣布获得 1200 万美元融资，并正式推出人工智能听力眼镜 Legato Frames 1。本轮融资由 Neotribe Ventures、Listen 和 Village Global 共同提供 1。该产品专为轻度至中度听力损失人群设计，计划于今年秋季晚些时候通过全国精选的眼科护理机构上市，并可能符合视力保险报销条件 1。
Legato 由 Mehul Trivedi 和 Steve Romine 于 2024 年底联合创立 1。Trivedi 曾领导 Bose Frames 的创建，并在 EssilorLuxottica 负责包括 Meta Ray-Bans 在内的智能眼镜业务；Romine 曾负责 Bose 的助听器部门并担任 Audicus 首席运营官 1。Legato Frames 将专利听力辅助技术集成到镜腿中，利用 AI 系统区分背景噪音与人声，从而仅对人声进行放大 1。同时，其配备的双扬声器系统能有效防止声音外泄，在距离耳朵仅几英寸的位置即可减少 99% 的漏音 1。
Hearing tech startup Legato emerged from stealth on Wednesday with $12 million in funding from Neotribe Ventures, Listen, and Village Global 1. The company was founded by Mehul Trivedi and Steve Romine in late 2024 1. Trivedi previously led Bose Frames creation and smart eyewear efforts at EssilorLuxottica, including Meta Ray-Bans 1. Romine previously ran the hearing aids division at Bose and served as COO of Audicus 1.
Legato unveiled its product, the Legato Frames, which are AI hearing glasses integrating patented hearing-assistance technology into eyewear arms 1. The frames use an AI-powered system to differentiate background noise from voices and amplify only voices 1. A dual-speaker system reduces sound escaping by 99% just a few inches away from the ear 1. Legato targets people with mild to moderate hearing loss, and the Legato Frames are expected to launch later this fall 1. The product will be available through select eye-care providers nationwide and may be eligible for vision insurance 1.
