Until recently it hadnt crossed my mind the negative impact facemasks have had ont he deaf community, many of whom rely on lip reading to communicate. This epidemic has been devistating to their ability to function.

I am really glad someone brought this to my attention and to see there are solutions out there. Though sadly with difficulty even obtaining regular face masks this isnt likely to become common place for a very long time, if ever. But awareness is the first step
