Donate today so we can supply face shields and masks with clear panels to our members and anyone affected by hearing loss. Goal is $1200! Please donate here: https://www.facebook.com/donate/717134172379077/... For National AccessAbility Week last week, we received a donation of $600 worth of face masks and clear face shields. There was such a high demand that ALL of the masks were gone in only 48 hours! Improving communication has always been a main aspect of our mission, but now the pandemic has presented an additional barrier for our members. While the use of face masks have become a daily part of our lives, for people with hearing loss, that also means an increased difficulty in communicating on a daily basis. Regular face masks muffle peoples voices, prevent lip reading, and can lead to confidentiality issues in places like the pharmacy or doctors offices if personnel have to continue to raise their voice to communicate. Hear Qubec Board Member, Katrina Tarondo, describes her recent experience going to the pharmacy: There was a table in front of the prescription counter with a pharmacist on the other side behind a computer wearing a face mask and a face guard. I had a hard time hearing her asking me questions about my prescription. As someone with a hearing loss this was causing me anxiety. Her speech was muffled due to the gauze material of the mask and the distance. I rely on the hearing I have left with the help of hearing aids, but this was difficult. I am sure the situation would not be easy for hearing people as well. Also, I felt I had no privacy because there was a personal barrier that made me stay far away. This type of story has been experienced by many of our members and we need to help! In order to best serve those affected by hearing loss while navigating the pandemic, we are launching a campaign to raise funds and awareness so we can provide clear face shields and masks with clear panels to our community in need! Our goal is to raise $1,200 to purchase face shields and masks with clear panels for our members.
