tomcatty: Well the posters above seem to have come out with some solutions. i won't argue the toss with you, but I think deafness should be recognised as a real disability, and it's no good shouting at them, deafness is not daftnes, they are probably smarter than you
Well, it's like I said, spare a thought.

cheers

bodleing2: Spare a thought for deaf people during this time. There are estimated to be about 9 million deaf and hard of hearing adults in the UK alone, that is about 18% of the total population. About 640,000 of these are profoundly or severely deaf who mainly rely on lipreading to be able to communicate.
Entirely agree! thumbs up

bodleing2: Seems that's not entirely the case.....

Karen Robson, of Action on Hearing Loss, said: "We're hearing a lot of concerns from the deaf community and those with hearing loss.

"Many people who are deaf or have hearing loss rely heavily on visual cues for effective communication, including facial expressions and lip-reading.

"Being able to see lip patterns and facial expressions is also vital for those who communicate through British Sign Language."

Words which sound similar but have different meanings can become difficult to distinguish.

"Many of these people will be unavoidably impeded by face coverings," Ms Robson said.

"This has the potential to create further isolation amongst an already marginalised community of people, causing additional stress and anxiety to people at an already very difficult time."

I'm not deaf but still have difficulty hearing what people are saying through a mask..and sometimes they also have with me.grin

Hi Merc
What I meant was this..There has to be something wrong with peoples hearing if people can't hear a conversation wearing a mask..Sounds like you have taped your mouths closed...I have to be very careful respiratory wise myself.

For some reason I view those clear mouth masks as creepy! The US is seeing a spike in cases badly. Reasons are people congregating and not wearing masks. I dislike them, but do what has to be done to stay safe. Or at least try to.
I just ordered microfiber cleaning cloths. Said they make good masks due to tightness plus electrostatic repelling of germs.
If you think this virus is mild, check with all those dead people, sick people and now the ones that seems to have it for weeks and months.scold

I've no problem with you Mikey. I simply asked for you not to speak for me (I believe you said the U.S. so you were speaking for our entire country.) you came back with attitude and I returned the favor. We can leave it here or you feel free to do what you will. Whatever.

I was being sarcastic, the failures in this Country to care for it's mentally ill are disgraceful. Even communist China did a better job!
