I am hearing impaired and, even with hearing aids, frequently have difficulty hearing others. I currently serve residents who are immigrants and/or refugees, many of whom do not speak English. For those that do, they have a strong accent which makes them even more difficult to understand. I rely on reading lips to supplement what others are saying and, with mask wearing, communication is super challenging. I particularly appreciated the evidence that confirmed/supports the impact of mask wearing on communication especially those with hearing loss. The strategies presented are super helpful and I plan to share them with coworkers. I plan to look into the possibility of obtaining masks with 'windows' for residents to wear so I can see their lips.
