According to the latest CDC guidelines published about protection against coronavirus (COVID-19), face shields may be a good alternative for people who are either deaf or hard of hearing.
Here are some considerations for individuals who must wear a face shield instead of a mask:
Although evidence on face shields is limited, available data suggests that the following face shields may provide better source control than others:
Face shields that wrap around the sides of the wearer’s face and extend below the chin
Hooded face shields
Face shield wearers should wash their hands before and after removing the face shield and avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth when removing it.
Disposable face shields should only be worn for a single-use and disposed of according to manufacturer instructions.
Reusable face shields should be cleaned and disinfected after each use according to manufacturer instructions or by following CDC face shield cleaning instructions.
