Hearing tech startup Legato launches its AI hearing glasses

Legato was founded in 2024 by Mehul Trivedi and Steve Romine, who bring deep experience in wearables and hearing care from Bose, where Trivedi led the creation of Bose Frames and Romine ran the hearing aids division. After their time at Bose, Trivedi joined EssilorLuxottica, where he led smart eyewear efforts and worked on the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, while Romine went on to serve as COO of hearing care company Audicus. The pair then joined forces to explore the intersection of hearing technology and smart eyewear.

Legato Frames can be purchased on the startup’s website or through select eye care providers in the U.S., where they are eligible for coverage by vision insurance.
