What is this service?
Our lipreading courses are relaxed, friendly, and welcoming. You will learn at a pace that suits you.
Your teacher will teach useful communication tips that support lipreading and help you manage hearing loss day‑to‑day. For example, you will learn where to position yourself in the group so you can see everyone clearly, and how to be more confident asking people to repeat themselves or face you when they speak.
The teacher will explain what equipment, services, and organisations are available to offer extra help with hearing loss.
We offer beginner and intermediate lipreading classes. Please get in touch for more details.
Good to know
- Cost: Variable
- Additional information:
Lipreading is an important communication skill for many individuals with hearing loss. It involves recognising the shapes of the lips, as well as the accompanying gestures and facial movements, to gain a clearer understanding of spoken language.
Although often unrecognised, many people naturally employ elements of lipreading in everyday interactions, particularly in environments where background noise makes auditory understanding more challenging. Mastery of lipreading requires sustained concentration, refined observational ability, and extensive practice.
