Lipreading (Speechreading)
University of Manchester researchers found that
hard of hearing people just using their residual
hearing understood 21 percent of speech. If
they combined their residual hearing with
either a hearing aid or with speechreading, they
could understand 64 percent of speech. This is
a significant improvement. However, if they
used their residual hearing and both hearing
aids and speechreading, their speech
comprehension soared to 90 percent.
