Reading lips is a LOT harder than you think. It’s a challenging skill that takes a lot of energy and concentration. When you read lips, only about 30% of speech can actually be seen on the lips. The rest is inferred from context, movements of the jaw, cheeks, neck, and the expression of the eyes.⁠
⁠
Even simple statements can easily be mistaken when lip-reading…⁠
⁠
👄“I Love You” = Olive Juice / Elephant Shoes⁠
⁠👄“You’re an idiot” = You’re hideous⁠
⁠👄Cab / Lab⁠
⁠👄Cat / Hat / Pat⁠
⁠and so on.⁠
⁠
There are things you can do to make life a bit easier for deaf/hard of hearing people who rely on lipreading. These small things can mean a lot to someone and can make a huge difference.⁠
⁠
Remember that Listening or concentration fatigue does affect deaf children and adults, and people who have to concentrate hard for a long periods of time on signing, listening or lipreading.⁠
This can also affect interpreters or people who have to speak a foreign language.⁠
