Is it like a rough inference of what’s being said based on mouth movements, or is it more precise somehow? Would it be a mistake to think you knew exactly what was said by reading lips (even if you were good at it)?

    All I know is that when people started wearing masks, suddenly I had trouble understanding them. I guess I’d picked it up subconsciously alongside my hearing loss.

      I still wear masks in public, but holy shit does it make people harder to understand when I can’t see their lips. I wanna say that someone made a “clear” mask for that exact reason. Dunno how exactly or where I remember that from, but it’s a good idea
