This Morning published this video item, entitled “Josie Opens Up About Hearing Impaired Brother’s Struggle With Face Masks | This Morning” – below is their description.
They’ve become a big part of our daily lives – but many of us are unaware of the challenges face masks pose to the 12 million people in the UK living with hearing loss. As the majority of people with hearing impairments rely on mouth patterns and lip reading, face coverings are making it virtually impossible for them to communicate. It’s an issue close to home for Josie Gibson whose brother, Harry Mook suffers from hearing loss. She’s joining us alongside Conservative MP, Alec Shelbrook, who also wants to raise awareness of the exemptions around facemasks for deaf people. Broadcast on 22/10/20
