“This book is a must for your office, for your clients, and for all public
libraries.” --Feedback
“Unlike other consumer-oriented books on speechreading, this one not
only focuses on practice exercises, but it also informs about the
speechreading process and strategies to compensate for hearing loss . . . . This
book could best be used by the professional as a client workbook to answer
questions for hearing-impaired adults. It could also be beneficial to the
hearing-impaired individual and his family members who are unable to enroll in
therapy.” --Ear and Hearing Speechreading: A Way to Improve Understanding discusses the nature and process of speechreading, its benefits, and its limitations. This useful book clarifies commonly-held misconceptions about speechreading. The beginning chapters address difficult communication situations and problems related to the speaker, the speechreader, and the environment. It then offers strategies to manage them. Speechreading provides practical exercises illustrating the use of these communication strategies in actual situations. It is an excellent book for late-deafened adults, families and friends, parents of children with hearing loss, and professionals and students.
