Episode 80 - Since face masks is currently part of the everyday norm and it's common to see it in our daily routines now, this has raised the issue of how it can make it difficult for deaf people to lip read and to communicate.

Even there are so many different types of face masks out there, I have yet to see those wearing the see-through clear face masks where you can see the other person's lips. This makes it easier to lip read, see their emotions and facial expressions, and generally make it easier to communicate.

And this applies, not just to deaf people, but to everyone too.
