After about more than 7-8 months we are all used to of wearing a face mask and we are now trying hard to listen and understand what the man at a supermarket is trying to communicate with a mask on his mouth. Many people say that they can hear only some words, and it does not make any sense as it is random. Lip reading abilityand facial expressions watch is not helpful at all when the person’s face is all covered with a mask.
It is really a problem with around 466 million
people throughout the world who are estimated to have some sort of hearing
loss. Standard face masks have become widespread as all the countries are
trying to stop the spreading pandemic. Now different manufacturers have come
forward with a solution of a Transparent
mask. An association which supports deaf and hearing loss patients in
Northern France has come with an idea of creating an easy to breathe mask for the
use of persons who want to hide their face while wearing the mask. In this type
of Clear Mask, the
nose is covered but the mouth is made visible. This type of mask can be washed
at high temperature to reduce the possibility of infection.
