A college student invented a new mask to help people who are deaf and hard of hearing communicate amid the coronavirus pandemic.
reports that Eastern Kentucky University senior Ashley Lawrence designed and is now actually producing face masks for those with hearing issues. The project is clearly personal to her, given that the 21-year-old student is studying education for the deaf and hard of hearing.
"I felt like there was a huge population that was being looked over," Lawrence tells the local news outlet of the origins of her idea."We're all panicking right now and so a lot of people are just not being thought of. So, I felt like it was very important that, even at a time like this, people need to have that communication."
