I understand that other people wearing a mask is a hardship on some people (including the hard of hearing). While I sympathize, and certainly will make an effort to speak slower/louder/crisper, I'm not going to remove my mask in a public space so you can understand me. I wonder if the hearing aid business has been doing gangbusters since the pandemic started.

Nah, you don't give a toss because you've prioritised something which is literally impossible.
