I also can’t hear when people are masked up. I wear 2 behind the ear hearing aids and masking devices for tinnitus. In addition to the tinnitus, masking devices,/ hearing aids, and actual masks on people I live in Quebec. English is my mother tongue but almost everything in Quebec takes place in French. I am fluent in French but according to the audiologist French tones match my hearing loss more closely than English tones. All that to say that understanding speech outside the home is hopeless for me.
Bet if we took a survey on masks that close to 100% of people who use hearing aids or cochlear implants would hate them with a passion! Do you know anyone who has lost a hearing aid due to masks? I know several.
