      Question. Is there a study that looks at rates of Covid infection especially among the elderly to see if it correlates with hearing problems and access to hearing aids? It’s much harder to stay distanced when people can’t hear you. Same issue with loud workplaces—meatpacking.

      I can definitely see that happening just like everything else that failed. But not being able to hear well would definitely impact how close people got—caregivers, healthcare workers—and also their propensity to shout, which produces more aerosols.https://twitter.com/bgrffn/status/1359954776746778635 …

      This is a fantastic question. There is hearing aid industry data showing sales were temporarily down in 2020 primarily due to access & pandemic closures of many local clinics.

      UNC is currently vaccinating the elderly and what I’m observing is a lot of people leaning *into* each other to give—sometimes shout—instructions. Of course, everyone is masked (surgical masks mandatory plus many double masking) but thinking about places without such controls

          Supposedly and anecdotally, Staten Island got (re)seeded by construction workers doing exactly this to shout over the jackhammers.

          Not answering your question directly but ONS figures released today re England show that of the 50,888 deaths from January 24 2020 to 20 November 2020, 30,296 were disabled people – some 59.5%.

          Testing centers in Seattle have instructions written on clipboards in LARGE font to avoid this issue.

          My nurse friend had a patient who just said to her 'don't bother talking to me love, I'm deaf. I have no idea what you're saying to me with that mask on.' Leaning in made no difference to her. World utterly isolated.
