They could make communication easier for millions of people.
more than people without some form of hearing loss, it takes a toll on all of us, Dr. Sydlowski says. “We probably don’t even realize it, but, to some extent, we all rely on lip reading,” she explains. When you’re in a noisy environment—like a really loud store—you naturally study the face of the person talking to you for cues, since you can’t hear their speech as well. Lip reading can also be essential for English language learners or for some people who speak English as a secondary language.
While lip reading comes in handy for everyone, it’s crucial for certain groups of people, Dr. Sydlowski says, including children, who rely heavily on visual information when talking to other people, and elderly people who have lived with hearing loss for multiple decades, since it can worsen with age. The use of masks has presented unique challenges to these people during the pandemic, Dr.
For this reason, it could be immensely helpful for people in certain industries—like teachers or daycare staff who work with children, those who work in nursing homes, and anyone who works in a medical setting—to consider having a transparent mask on hand, like the N95 from Optrel.
