口罩一直是减少COVID-19传播的关键。与此同时，它们也阻碍了人际交流，特别是对于那些依靠读言来帮助交流的人来说。现有的研究表明，聋人/重听人在与戴口罩的人沟通时遇到很大困难，并对福祉产生负面影响。在这里，我们通过探索哪些因素预测聋人/HoH人的沟通困难，信息丢失和幸福来扩展这些发现。我们还探讨了预测透明面罩和替代沟通方式的感知有用性的因素。我们报告的调查结果，从一个无障碍的调查研究，在两个书面和三个签署的语言发布。在强制佩戴口罩的时候，在网上收集了395名聋人/HoH英国和西班牙居民的回复。我们调查了耳聋的发生和程度、手语知识、言语阅读流畅性和居住国是否可以预测沟通困难、健康状况以及透明面罩的有用程度。总体而言，聋人/HoH的人和他们的亲属使用口罩的大部分时间，尽管更大的沟通困难。迟发性耳聋的人在沟通方面遇到更多困难，并且报告说幸福感较低。然而，早发性和晚发性耳聋的人都报告说，他们比HoH人缺失了更多的信息，感觉与社会脱节。最后，签名者比非签名者更积极地评价透明面罩。后者表明，虽然看到嘴唇对每个人都是积极的，但签名者喜欢看到整个面部表情。重要的是，我们的数据还揭示了视觉沟通而不是语音阅读的重要性，以促进面对面的互动。在线版本包含补充材料，可通过10.1186/s41235-022-00431-4获得。迟发性耳聋的人在沟通和低幸福感方面经历了更多的困难。重度/深度失聪的人错过了更多的信息，并感到与社会脱节。签名者更喜欢完全透明的面罩。更频繁地使用面具并不一定意味着更难沟通。视觉交流，亲社会行为和社会结构可能有助于缓解沟通。在线版本包含补充材料，可通过10.1186/s41235-022-00431-4获得。
Face coverings have been key in reducing the spread of COVID-19. At the same time, they have hindered interpersonal communication, particularly for those who rely on speechreading to aid communication. The available research indicated that deaf/hard of hearing (HoH) people experienced great difficulty communicating with people wearing masks and negative effects on wellbeing. Here we extended these findings by exploring which factors predict deaf/HoH people’s communication difficulties, loss of information, and wellbeing. We also explored the factors predicting perceived usefulness of transparent face coverings and alternative ways of communicating. We report the findings from an accessible survey study, released in two written and three signed languages. Responses from 395 deaf/HoH UK and Spanish residents were collected online at a time when masks were mandatory. We investigated whether onset and level of deafness, knowledge of sign language, speechreading fluency, and country of residence predicted communication difficulties, wellbeing, and degree to which transparent face coverings were considered useful. Overall, deaf/HoH people and their relatives used masks most of the time despite greater communication difficulties. Late-onset deaf people were the group that experienced more difficulties in communication, and also reported lower wellbeing. However, both early- and late-onset deaf people reported missing more information and feeling more disconnected from society than HoH people. Finally, signers valued transparent face shields more positively than non-signers. The latter suggests that, while seeing the lips is positive to everyone, signers appreciate seeing the whole facial expression. Importantly, our data also revealed the importance of visual communication other than speechreading to facilitate face-to-face interactions. The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s41235-022-00431-4. Late-onset deaf people experienced more difficulties in communication and low wellbeing. Severely/profoundly deaf people missed more information and felt disconnected from society. Signers preferred completely transparent face coverings. More frequent use of masks doesn’t necessarily imply more difficulty communicating. Visual communication, pro-social behaviour, and societal structure might help easing communication.
