Face masks have undoubtedly been a good thing when it comes to helping prevent the spread of COVID-19. But they present challenges when trying to communicate with others. Especially if you or the person you are communicating with has a hearing loss. Face masks muffle speech and block important lip-reading cues, both are key to understanding speech. If you add in social distancing or group video chats – nothing to do with masks but plenty to do with speech audibility – and this pandemic has made it a lot harder to hear what your family, friends, colleagues, neighbours and the local grocery store cashier are saying. If face masks and social distancing are making it harder for you to hear what people are saying, Starkey Livio Edge AI hearing aids may just be able to help you.
