Smile Masks Help Deaf And Hard Of Hearing Communicate While Reducing COVID-19 Transmission

When demand for masks soared in late March, company founder Marissa Goldstein says she and her husband had just launched their handbag company. But no one was buying, so the company shifted their production lines to make masks for frontline workers.

Rafi Nova's Smile Mask is a mask that covers the mouth area with clear plastic, leaving the mouth fully visible. The Smile Mask is also designed with adjustable ear loops or a tie behind, so people with hearing aids or cochlear implants can easily pull it on and off, Gampel says. The company also offers an anti-fogging solution to prevent condensation from building up inside the mask.

hereandnow I love this idea but they fog immediately and make my glasses opaque even more quickly.

hereandnow Yep, masks are stupid.. these are stupid as they give gov dorks more reasons to say we should keep wearing them.

hereandnow National pussy radio

hereandnow It’s more than just the mouth; the whole face communicates. A whole segment of the population disenfranchised.

hereandnow These are good for all people. Most communication is non verbal! We have evolved to read each other's faces.

hereandnow This is what the end of the world looks like.....a total loss of common sense.

hereandnow Ewww, foggy and smelly.

hereandnow I got one of those. The problem is that it fogs quickly and defeats the purpose 😥

hereandnow Yea that's easy to breath through... nice work!

hereandnow this will definitely help if they become commonplace, but frankly as a person with severe hearing loss my biggest complaint is those plastic shields at counters that totally utterly block voices!!! 🦻 PLEASE: SPEAK UP!!!!!!!!

hereandnow What about autism and people with trouble understanding human emotion or facial expressions and body language

hereandnow But if these are not on every person wearing masks. The deaf people are still fucked.

hereandnow So what you're suggesting is the masses of us should start wearing clear masks. I'm not opposed to it. But if there is social distancing why we need to wear one.

This is great but $30 for a mask?

hereandnow Love this so much 💗

hereandnow Great idea but what's preventing them from fogging up and blocking the view of their lips?

hereandnow That’s a nice idea....isn’t covering your mouth or nose with plastic dangerous🤔

hereandnow The shark has been jumped.
