I'm sorry..... this is off topic but I did not know how else to put it out there. Today on MSNBC there is a short article called "How everyday communication barriers for the deaf are intensified by face masks". l am in favor of the masks but am having a terrible time understanding employees in grocery stores, Home Depot and so on when trying to get help. I never realized before how much I relied on the extra cues that people's faces and lips give us.

Ditto for me - my wife and me talked about this just today. She has great hearing and is having troubles at times. Seems to be more prevalent with females with mask.
