Altina

Made for conversation.
AI hearing enhancement inside finely crafted frames.

[Chris Hall @chrislukehall]

Nobody wants surveillance on their face.

Tal Bar-Or (@btal), Founder @Altina:

"The big tech approach to smart glasses: cameras, data collection, it makes people uncomfortable. With what we're doing, there's none of that."

[Ecomm Cowboy @ecommcowboy]

"Fashion-first hearing eyewear." - @btal

Two AI chips. One on each side.
Une 10ms latency.

@Altina's glasses do what hearing aids don't: "They separate the speech from the noise. We just amplify the speech."

[Colin Dougherty @colindougherty]

80% of people with hearing loss don't wear hearing aids.

Even when you hand them a $7,000 pair.

"It's stigma. It's comfort. People still are not going to wear it."

@btal left Amazon's smart glasses team to fix that with @Altina.

The answer isn't a better hearing aid. It's deleting the hearing aid entirely.

Appreciate @OptometryToday covering @Altina.

In collaboration with Cubitts, we’re building hearing eyewear like traditional eyewear. The goal is for Altina to fit naturally into the existing optical ecosystem.

From our founder:

[Tal Bar-Or @btal]

After two years of building quietly, I’m excited to share what I’ve been working on: a new kind of hearing eyewear, made for conversation.

At @altina, we’re designing eyeglasses with AI-powered hearing enhancement to help people stay engaged, even in noisy environments.

We’re collaborating with the British eyewear brand Cubitts, one of London’s most respected eyewear makers.
