Lipspeaker
What is a Lipspeaker?
Lipspeaking is a visual communication skill that involves understanding speech by watching a speaker's lip movements, facial expressions, and body language. It can be a valuable tool for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.
The Role of Lipspeakers
Lipspeakers are trained professionals who can help individuals who rely on lipreading. By using unvoiced speech, lipspeakers convey a speaker's message while maintaining the visual cues necessary for lipreading. This can make it easier for lipreaders to understand spoken language.
Working with a Lipspeaker
When working with a Lipspeaker, it is important to:
-
Communicate your needs clearly: Let your Lipspeaker know about any specific challenges you face in lipreading.
-
Be patient: Lipreading can be time-consuming, so be patient and allow the Lipspeaker time to convey the message.
-
Practice regularly: The more you practice lipreading with a Lipspeaker, the better you will become at understanding spoken language.
