Lipreading Mom

Now you see me, now you don’t. Which face mask do you prefer?

For the 30 million people in the U.S. who have hearing loss, clear, visible face masks allow us to read your lips and detect other visual cues, such as your smile. That is 1 in 8 people in this country who depend on visual cues to understand spoken language.
