[NAGDU] Masks and orientation

[Susan Jones]

FYI, I don't wear my mask when out walking, just when I know I'm going into a crowd, or inside a building.
For example I will walk to church, and pause just outside to put my mask on before going inside.

Yes, I feel the same way. It definitely effects echo location and sound shadows to an extent for me. There’s a noticeable difference with the mask in public and without it walking around unpopulated outdoor areas.
