Mask Hearing

Mask Hearing is the bane of all Fencers....

When your friend off strip or your opponent says something but you can't hear because of mask padding that insulates your ears for protection but makes you deaf as a post.

Though after a certain amount of time you adjust and you can hear perfectly and then.....BOOM you take your mask off and now everything is WAY too loud...

Because of the mask being one of the most important parts of a Fencers uniform it also makes it hard to hear anything around you except for your own breathing.
