Lip Speaking
“It is widely recognised that lipreading improves communication for people with all types of hearing loss. A Lipspeaker repeats spoken messages for people who are able to lipread. They ensure clear communication in critical situations or when there is more than one voice to follow. A Lipspeaker uses facial expressions, natural gestures and fingerspelling to support communication.”
