A Manchester teenager who has a stammer has spoken about the struggles he ’ s encountered since face masks were made compulsory .
Faizan Sheikh , 17 , from Didsbury , has had a stammer since an early age and , at one point , was n't able to say his own name .
Over the years , he ’ s been able to control his stammer with breathing techniques - but the lockdown has led to a unique set of hurdles for him .
Face masks have been compulsory on public transport in England since June and the law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be compulsory in shops , banks , post offices , and supermarkets .
From August 8 , the rule will also apply to indoor settings such as museums , galleries , cinemas and places of worship , Boris Johnson announced on Friday .
But Faizan says wearing a face mask and having a stammer has resulted in it being hard for people to hear or understand him .
“ I feel like I struggle to get my point across when I talk with a face mask on because my voice sounds muffled , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When I talk , I need to put the face mask down so I can be heard clearer.
” He says that the breathing techniques he uses to help him be able to control his stammer and say words more clearly are also affected when wearing a face mask .
“ I think people who have a stammer find it difficult with a mask because they can ’ t do their breathing technique as well , ” he says .
“ The mask limits the breathing and that ’ s what we ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our words.
” Read more of today 's stories here Faizan says he has tried to use a visor instead but , while he found it easier to talk , he said it was ‘ quite irritating ’ on his forehead .

Currently , the government says there is an exception if you have a ‘ reasonable excuse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explained further and speech conditions are not directly mentioned in the guidance .
“ I think there should have been more consideration for people with stammers and those who can ’ t hear , ” Faizan explains .
“ I don ’ t think the guidance was clear enough - not enough people are wearing masks .
`` I was on the bus the other day and I was the only person wearing a mask.
” Apart from face masks , Faizan says the lockdown has taken a big knock on his confidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his stammer .
“ Lockdown has affected me really badly , ” he adds .
“ As I was stuck in the house , I couldn ’ t meet up with people and talk to them .
`` I had to use the phone to speak to people and there are some people who have been really rude and impatient to me .
“ I was trying to explain to someone about a punctured tyre and as I was struggling with the first ‘ P ’ bit , they got fed up and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to understand how difficult it can be .
People need to have more patience.
” The British Stammering Association said they had been informed of a large number of people with stammers who have faced similar issues as Faizan .
`` Since the requirement to wear face coverings in shops and on public transport was introduced , lots of people who stammer have told us it can make talking more difficult , '' a spokesperson for Stamma told the M.E.N .
`` Some complain of being interrupted more , with listeners not being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re struggling to get any sound out .
Sometimes listeners walk away thinking the conversation has finished , which can be humiliating .
`` When speech is muffled you ’ re more likely to be asked to repeat yourself – if you stammer and you ’ ve struggled to say something the first time , it can be really exhausting and frustrating to have to say it again . ''
`` We ’ d advise people to wear a face covering if at all possible but if you are struggling and want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exemption card .
`` If you ’ re struggling at work , stammering is often a disability under the Equality Act 2010 , so you can ask your employer to make ‘ reasonable adjustments ’ to make your job easier , for instance by asking them to let you wear a face shield instead . ''

He says that the breathing techniques he uses to help him be able to control his stammer and say words more clearly are also affected when wearing a face mask.
“I think people who have a stammer find it difficult with a mask because they can’t do their breathing technique as well,” he says.
“The mask limits the breathing and that’s what we’ve been taught to help us with our words.”
Faizan says he has tried to use a visor instead but, while he found it easier to talk, he said it was ‘quite irritating’ on his forehead.
He said he only learnt this week that there were exceptions to the face coverings rule for people with certain conditions, but said the guidance needed to more clearly state who is exempt.
Currently, the government says there is an exception if you have a ‘reasonable excuse’, however this isn’t explained further and speech conditions are not directly mentioned in the guidance.
“I think there should have been more consideration for people with stammers and those who can’t hear,” Faizan explains.
“I don’t think the guidance was clear enough - not enough people are wearing masks.
"I was on the bus the other day and I was the only person wearing a mask.”
Apart from face masks, Faizan says the lockdown has taken a big knock on his confidence and people have been less patient with his stammer.
“Lockdown has affected me really badly,” he adds. “As I was stuck in the house, I couldn’t meet up with people and talk to them.
"I had to use the phone to speak to people and there are some people who have been really rude and impatient to me.

“I was trying to explain to someone about a punctured tyre and as I was struggling with the first ‘P’ bit, they got fed up and hung up.
"I want people to understand how difficult it can be. People need to have more patience.”
The British Stammering Association said they had been informed of a large number of people with stammers who have faced similar issues as Faizan.
"Since the requirement to wear face coverings in shops and on public transport was introduced, lots of people who stammer have told us it can make talking more difficult," a spokesperson for Stamma told the M.E.N.
"Some complain of being interrupted more, with listeners not being able to see their mouths when they’re struggling to get any sound out. Sometimes listeners walk away thinking the conversation has finished, which can be humiliating.
"When speech is muffled you’re more likely to be asked to repeat yourself – if you stammer and you’ve struggled to say something the first time, it can be really exhausting and frustrating to have to say it again."
"We’d advise people to wear a face covering if at all possible but if you are struggling and want to claim exemption you can download an exemption card.
"If you’re struggling at work, stammering is often a disability under the Equality Act 2010, so you can ask your employer to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to make your job easier, for instance by asking them to let you wear a face shield instead."
Anyone who is exempt from wearing a face mask can download and print out an exception badge that they can carry around with them or display on their phone. Card and lanyard options are also available to purchase.
There are also clear, transparent face masks available for anyone who feels they are being visibly blocked.

Black Pound Day has returned following the first ever event in the UK on June 27.
It has been created to encourage shoppers to support black-owned businesses by spending their cash with those types of companies.
The day of awareness is scheduled to take place around every month going forward.
It's the brainchild of Swiss, former member of So Solid Crew, whose campaign formed following the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement in recent months after the death of black American George Floyd.
The day of celebration is to empower the black community and to keep up the momentum of the movement.
The organisation’s website reads: "[Swiss’] idea hopes to underpin our long-term financial growth and infrastructure, empowering and motivating the Black community.
"The day is also an opportunity to find out how everyone can support Black businesses over the long-term. So don't forget to share brands that you love, businesses that you can't live without, and make sure to hashtag #BlackPoundDay.”
Government data in 2018 revealed that five percent of the UK’s small businesses were majority-led by someone from an ethnic minority group with 90 percent being led by someone from a white group.
Sandra Kerr, race equality director for Business in the Community, in response to the government taking action to support BAME entrepreneurs at the time, said: "BAME employees often find they are not able to progress in traditional work environments so may choose to start their own businesses."
How to support
Swiss posted to his Instagram page 'five simple things to do on Black Pound Day'. They are:
Buy from black-owned businesses Take a picture of the purchase, receipt or business Post and hashtag #BlackPoundDay Share your experience to your social media channels Recommend the business to a friend
Shoppers can head to the Black Pound Day website and search for an item they are looking for, where it will then suggest a list of black-owned businesses in your area.
Black Pound Day has been trending on Twitter, with thousands of small business-owners posting messages about their products.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-08-01--Why Man United legend Keane slammed Pique during FA Cup Final defeat to Arsenal

Cesc Fabregas has revealed how Roy Keane once gave Gerard Pique a dressing down over their friendship .
Former Manchester United defender Pique grew up in the same Barcelona youth system with Fabregas before the duo moved onto pastures new , with the midfielder joining Arsenal .
Fabregas lined up against United in the 2005 FA Cup Final for the Gunners , helping his side to win on penalties after a goalless draw the Reds had dominated .
Pique was not involved in the game for United but was on the receiving end of a Keane rant due to a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fabregas had knee 'd the United captain , who sought out Pique over his friendship with his international teammate .
Fabregas told the Telegraph : “ Gerard Pique , who was at Manchester United then , told me about this afterwards and I never knew about it .
“ He told me that me and Roy went into a challenge , which I remember .
It was 50/50 and I must have caught him with my knee in his quad .
And I got him a little bit .
“ At half-time , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at him because he knew we were friends .
“ A bit of swearing .
I ca n't say the exact words but it was fun.
” Fabregas subsequently left the Gunners to join Barcelona in 2011 - reuniting him with Pique - before returning to the Premier League with Chelsea three years later .
United showed interest in Fabregas on his return to England but the Spaniard revealed that meeting Jose Mourinho convinced him to move to Stamford Bridge .
He said : “ When I told my agent I wanted to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I thought it was Arsenal .
But it did n't happen .
“ Arsenal had the option but they did n't take it , so we had to find other solutions and that 's when we met Jose Mourinho .
“ I listened to Jose because of who he is and because of the respect I had for him , and I ended up loving his words , his ideas , his future at Chelsea , what he wanted from me .

But , almost a year on , she has risen above the online trolling and is now set to lead the Derbyshire force as Chief Constable .
Derbyshire ’ s Police and Crime Commissioner ( PCC ) Hardyal Dhindsa announced last week that DCC Swann @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's Chief Constable .

Yes , I am quite small .
“ I can take a bit of banter but then it became @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really insulting.
” DCC Swann said the comments became so frequent that she had to temporarily leave social media altogether .
” The bit that really hurt was when people said I had no standards and I was letting policing down , ” she added when speaking to the BBC radio station .
At the time , Lincolnshire 's Police and Crime Commissioner Marc Jones leapt to DCC Swann ’ s defence and said that many of the comments were likely to have been from a ‘ group of largely retired , male @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accept her ‘ modern ’ style .
`` She 's a respected , able officer , exactly the sort of person we should encourage to rise to the top of policing , ” Mr Jones said .
`` There is a lack of diversity at the top and this kind of focus on a female officer 's hair is partly why.
