A beautiful & modernised version of a French proverb to sum up the relationship with a deaf lipreader: “Les paroles s’envolent, les écris restent…” (“Spoken words fly away but lip movements remain to be read…”) #FrenchProverbs #Lipreading

“Lipreading is like doing a crossword puzzle with half the clues missing…” (Quote unknown).

The words ‘seventeen’ and ‘seventy’ have similar lip patterns. Words with similar lip patterns are called #homophenes

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

French does have a few proverbs about lips, silence & speech that can be adapted beautifully for #LipreadingAwarenessWeek

“Les yeux sont le miroir de l’âme” (the eyes are the mirror of the soul)…just as lipreading uses the power of sight to access words.

The French proverb, “lire les lèvres, c’est entendre avec les yeux…” translates as “…to read lips is to hear with the eyes…”

I think this is a succinct representation of lipreader friendship.

#Throwback to the first time I was cross-questioned in court during the Bruce Lehrmann defamation trial in Sydney, Australia (Dec 2023) which was viewed by 10.8k viewers on the court’s #YouTube channel. #ForensicLipreading #Legal

It can be difficult to lipread my barber.

Although I don’t wear a hearing aid when my hair is cut, my barber always knows what I like. Maybe it helps that I am a generous tipper…
