Abstract

Speechreading is a valuable aid for the deaf and hard of hearing in maintaining communication with the hearing world. Success in school and society depend largely on an individual's ability to understand and use language, particularly spoken language. Speechreading is used to supplement auditory cues for understanding speech even by those with normal hearing. It is advisable for individuals with mild hearing losses to study speechreading for their future benefit because of the progressive nature of many types of hearing impairment.
