03. How are we going to hear when we try to communicate or talk with each other? Sign language? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Since you will always be wearing a helmet in space in order to survive and have the necessary oxygen to breathe, you will also have communication devices within your helmet to communicate. When astronauts are doing extra vehicular activities (EVA), they sometimes communicate using hand signals, but primarily, they communicate over the voice loops.
