Abstract: The inventive mask solves a major industry problem, which involves the challenge of effectuating clear communications in an environment requiring protective mask use, without the necessity of removing the protective mask. The inventive mask facilitates individual and workplace communications by employing a half-mask or full-mask face protector having a mounting bracket that facilitates incorporation of a basic, intermediate, or advanced level communications module with varying functionality, depending on user preference, workplace requirements, and similar consideration. The inventive mask also incorporates a replaceable selection panel for the communications module, which facilitates access to control mechanisms to enable mask-to-mask, wireless intercom communications and media connection capabilities, and contributes to user cost savings by obviating the prospect of full mask replacement if the replaceable selection panel becomes soiled or otherwise inoperable.
