Have you ever wondered what lip reading really is? In today’s episode of the Deafinitely Talking podcast, I talk with Chelle Wyatt. Chelle is the founder of Hearing Loss LIVE, an educational platform focused on communication access and hearing loss awareness. She specializes in lip reading instruction and practical strategies for navigating hearing loss in real-world settings.
In this podcast, Chelle and I discuss:
– What lip reading is, that it is more than watching the speaker’s lips—it is about strong communication skills
– Understanding a speaker’s habits—some people are easier to follow—and that repetition and practice are needed when learning to read lips
– The value of ideal listening environments and community support
