55% of communication is visual. Traditional masks block faces and prevent our ability to see facial expressions and emotions, catch visual cues, and communicate.

When traditional masks are worn, miscommunication may increase with people who heavily rely on visual communication, such as deaf and hard of hearing individuals, children, and older adults. For many, missing critical visual cues can be the difference between complete understanding and a preventable ER visit.

Facial expressions are important for perceived empathy and building rapport, which can reduce confusion and improve relationships. A ClearMask transparent mask provides natural, empathetic communication and eliminates barriers caused by traditional masks.
