Hello! Sorry for the late mega last week. How are my disabled comrades doing?
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
"Disability" is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
I've tried GVS elipse, airboss, flomask, and have now for the past year used a dentec comfort air. The GVS hurt my nose bridge too much. The airboss was expensive, the straps wouldn't stay adjusted, and it split open after a few months, an absolute scam. The flowmask hurt my nose bridge and its small size caused gaps in the seal when I spoke or smiled, but I've heard it suits some people very well. The Dentec has suited my high nose bridge and far exceeded all others in comfort and seal integrity yet was the cheapest. I had to shop around to find the non-bulk order of it though. It's also all black and looks very cyberpunk.
Understand, though that your voice will be much more muffled in an elastomeric than disposable N95, and while some claim to have better audibility, it's not by much. I use my left over Auras when I know I'm going to talk to someone.
