Abstract
The present invention employs a privacy mask, with elongated mouth-piece, having a semi-circular opening for a user's mouth and a second opening coupled with a transfer tube in which a user's voice travels until it reaches the receiver of a mobile phone or computer, inserted in a head-set equipped with ear-pieces. The present invention is a telecommunication device allowing both speaking and listening with privacy, since it prevents both the user's voice to spread in the surrounding and outside noises to disturb the communication.
