Any of us that have hearing issues hate the masking and barriers. The fact that it made it very difficult to communicate was the major reason that I finally got hearing aids. Most people don't seem to understand the mask muffles the sound and people are talking in a "normal" tone really aren't. It's still difficult even with hearing aids, but at least I don't feel like I'm walking around with a box on my head.
I taught and participated in Swiftwater Rescue for some 10+years, which required me to maintain a more than basic level of first aid for remote locations. Never in those 10 years nor my Army time was gloves, face shields, or masking used to prevent viral respiratory infections and the Pre-Covid studies on Masking had the same results as the studies coming out of the Covid Pandemic, Masking has minimal or no effect on transmission of viral respiratory diseases.

I lost one of my hearing aids because of the face diapers. It got hooked in the cord that goes around your ear, and when I took the mask off the hearing aid came off with it. I looked all over the Jeep but haven't found it.

SPC Gary C. - I feel your pain. Yes, that was another issue, every time you took a mask off, a hearing aid came off with it.

Yeah. I was surprised when they told me to put one on when I went in for a blood draw last week.

Cuomo wasn't the only one that followed that policy. PA, NJ, and Kentucky at least followed the same policy that had the same effect.
