Deaf lipreaders can misunderstand shop assistants. In this picture a lady learns in her receipt that the handbag in the sale was actually £50.00 & not £15.00. Words such as ‘fifty’ & ‘fifteen’ have similar lip shapes. These are examples of #homophenes

#Lipreading Myth Buster 4: Some worry they are too old to start lipreading, but age is no barrier. Many people with #hearingloss begin classes later in life & find that this skill not only helps their comprehension but also boosts their confidence, social life, & wellbeing.

Although NUBSLI are not representatives for lipspeakers. It's still worth lipspeakers checking out the #NUBSLI calculator. Lipspeaking fees continue to spiral in the wrong direction, as agents battle to secure large contracts for our work #KnowYourWorth
We have a calculator which helps you work out how much income you will lose over the course of a year from accepting less money for just one job a week/month. Helping you make informed choices. #NUBSLIWins #StrongerTogether

Lipreading Myth Buster 1: Some people believe #lipreading is only for those who are completely #deaf, but that’s not the case. Lipreading can be a valuable skill for anyone experiencing any level of #hearingloss - or even if you just struggle to hear in noisy environments

🔁 Listening takes energy—especially when you're deaf or hard of hearing. Decoding speech, lipreading, and straining to follow conversations can lead to real mental exhaustion. It's called listening fatigue! Have you experienced any of these symptoms?
