Abstract | The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting mandate that everyone wear a mask affected communication and the accessibility of human speech. According to an article in "Audiology Today" (Atcherson et al., 2020), up to 20dB of the human voice can be lost due to wearing a clear face mask and even more if a shield is worn in addition to a mask. As masks also hide the mouth and often much of the face, visual cues to the speaker's words are severely limited, too. This can be devastating for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. This article provides answers to the question teachers must address: How can one provide support to deaf and hard of hearing students so that they continue to learn, especially those who rely primarily on audition?
