(Manisha Mahar, Intern Journalist); An England woman has made such transparent masks with the help of which the deaf people will be able to read the lips of the frontman and understand his words. This mask will also keep them away from corona infection. 45-year-old Claire Cross, who made such masks, says that this mask fits well on the face and will be helpful to those who cannot speak or hear. After the lockdown, it has now been made mandatory for people to apply masks, especially when traveling outside and going to the crowd.
National Deaf Children’s Society says that deaf people read lips to understand things, but because of masks they are unable to understand things, during the Corona epidemic, mute people need to be especially alert, especially until then when such transparent masks are not available worldwide. There are 9 million people in England who cannot hear. They understand sign language by facial and lip expressions.
Cross is a pub worker. She has been battling Rheumatoid Arthritis for a long time and distributing such transparent masks. She says, “there are some friends of mine who cannot listen. They rely on lip readings, the mask was introduced to these friends. When I shared it on social media, I was requested by such people that they too need a transparent mask. Apart from this, there was a demand from doctors and nurses treating deaf people.”
