Lipreading Myth Buster 7 ❌ MYTH: You need perfect eyesight or a photographic memory to lipread. ✅ TRUTH: If you can see the lips moving, you can hazard a guess. Lipreading skills are built gradually through practice and repetition. Persistence is key, and classes aid progress.

Lipreading Myth Buster 6: #Lipreading is not just watching lips—it’s a full communication skill involving facial cues, gestures, and context. Understanding this makes lipreading more accessible and less intimidating for beginners, helping them develop confidence step by step.

Lipreading Myth Buster 5: #Lipreading classes are NOT strict or intimidating! They are designed to be friendly and supportive. Lessons are paced to suit your ability, allowing everyone to learn comfortably and effectively. Most of your fellow students will have #hearingloss.

#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.

#Lipreading Myth Buster 3: Lipreading doesn’t mean perfectly catching every word. It’s about reading certain lip shapes, facial expressions, & body language, then combining these clues with what you already know to fill in the blanks. Context is everything. #deaf #hearingloss

Lipreading Myth Buster 2: It’s a common misconception that #lipreading is impossible to learn or that it takes years of study. With the right guidance and consistent practice, you may start understanding snippets of conversations, whatever your level of #hearingloss.

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

#CodeOfSilence was very enjoyable. The opportunity for #lipreading practice whilst watching the box was a bonus, as was the #BSL. It was accessible to #Deaf, dramatic and entertaining. Well done @ITV and @tracksgoggins.

Hats off to the audio dept in #CodeOfSilence. Nicely demonstrating the reveal into the hearing world when the #hearingaids go on.

#CodeOfSilence shows Alison applying all of her #lipreading ability, which isn't just about reading lips! Context is most important & body language is to be considered. Accents, regional variation and linguistics need to be factored in too! #deaf

"Hacker" is VERY hard to lipread! #CodeOfSilence

#CodeOfSilence is packed with subtle nods towards the little tips and tricks that people with #hearingloss use to navigate everyday life. Alison's #lipreading ability is an acquired skill, carefully honed and expertly deployed. So nice to see #Deaf ppl using #BSL on prime time.

Episode 4 of #CodeOfSilence tonight. ITV's inclusive #lipreading crime drama. Great to see it shows #Deaf ppl using #BSL at home, having normal conversations, leading normal lives. The gangsters, guns and violence? Not normal, thankfully. #hearingloss

Pay attention and you might just see snippets of what Alison is seeing. Look for sh ch j and p b m. Not the letters, the shapes that they make on the lips. That's all part of #lipreading. #CodeOfSilence

Alison doesn't scare easily. She's resourceful, determned and unshakeable. Her #hearingloss is secondary to her identity. Her #lipreading ability is off the scale! #CodeOfSilence #deaf
