Face Masks for Lip Readers

[Em in Ohio]

One of our members mentioned that she partially relied on reading lips, even after cochial implants. I had never even considered this as a possible problem. Fortunately, others did! They have designed and manufactured masks with clear panel inserts for clinicians with hearing-impaired patients - Yeah!

That's fabulous. Coming from a family where several members are profoundly deaf and often rely on lip reading from the hearing... I'm delighted to see someone has addressed this problem..
