I've seen those things 10 years ago when somebody was helping a deaf student in university. Used one of those things to talk to a text to speech engine during the lecture. Seemed to work quite well.

I've also seen them on court stenographers and thought they looked cool. Not everyone needs every invention, though.

They suck, you can't get air into them without destroying the noise cancelling part so you've got to constantly be taking it off to take a breath / running out of oxygen mid sentence

Mouth breathers hate this device.

The masks all cover your nose too

Oh dang. Yes the photo does indicate that, I see now.

You talk with your nose?

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 2 points 5 hours ago

Your nose in in the mask. It's extremely hard to make a seal around your lips that doesn't include the nose

You don't have allergies or colds?
