Michael Conley felt especially isolated these last few months: A deaf man, he was prevented from reading lips by the masks people wore to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
“You can tell so much by a facial expression, so it’s proving that it can be helpful to everybody,” Helton said.Teachers want them for English learners struggling without being able to see native speakers pronounce words. Hospitals and businesses want them to help improve communication, and so everyone can see the smiles of their workers.
Conley, a San Diego museum worker, suddenly found himself cut off from the world. Unable to see mouths, he could not understand or even know when people were speaking to him. He was anxious to go to the pharmacy for his medication or the grocery store for food.
