Ashley Lawrence, a 21-year-old studying education for the deaf and hard of hearing at Eastern Kentucky University, has created a medical face mask that could be a game-changer for deaf and hard of hearing people amid the coronavirus pandemic.

NBC-affiliate LEX18 reports that Eastern Kentucky University senior Ashley Lawrence designed and is now actually producing face masks for those with hearing issues. The project is clearly personal to her, given that the 21-year-old student is studying education for the deaf and hard of hearing.

The masks, which Lawrence and her mother have been sewing using bedsheets and plastic fabric, covers the user’s mouth but also has a sheer plastic window that makes the mouth visible to others.
