Meta FDA clears hearing enhancement for smart glasses launching in US later in 2026
Meta has received FDA clearance to add a hearing enhancement feature to its smart glasses, which will launch in the United States later in 2026.
FDA approval and device function
The US Food and Drug Administration cleared the new capability that turns the glasses into a hearing aid. This feature amplifies sound based on a user's hearing profile while using machine learning to boost voices and suppress background noise.
Pricing and subscription options
Users can try the feature for free for 30 days before paying a one-time fee of $149.99. Alternatively, the service is available as part of a Meta One subscription or through FSA/HSA eligible plans.
Launch timeline and availability
The product will debut in the US first with plans to expand to other countries soon. Meta states that compatible glasses are required for the feature to work properly.
