Adding visual signals provides the greatest chance for success in conversations, and increases one's confidence in their ability to communicate. While real-world experience is the best tool at a lip reading learner’s disposal, systemic teaching plus constant and focused training can certainly boost the skills. In Lip Reading Academy, students are taught to watch the lips, tongue and jaw movements, and to use their ability to deduce. Lip reading lessons have been shown to be of benefit in UK studies commissioned by the Action on Hearing Loss charity. -------------------------- Lip reading benefits everyone: As hearing becomes more and more difficult in old age, people may tend to depend more on lip reading, and are certainly encouraged to do so. Although lip reading is normally used most extensively by deaf and hard-of-hearing people, most people with proper hearing process speech information to a varied degree from sight of the moving mouth. For people with normal hearing, adding sight of the movement of the mouth improves speech processing. Being able to lip-read makes both the speaker and listener better communicators. Also, if you have a friend or family member who is hard-of-hearing, being able to lip-read can provide insights into what they are going through and make you more aware when speaking. -------------------------- In conclusion, lip reading is a very useful skill which benefits all of us in our daily lives. Its mastery requires A LOT OF time and patience, but the more you consciously practice, the easier and more natural it becomes.
