- Lip Reading is not an easy thing to do and not an easy thing to learn. Here's a video to give hearing people a little bit of an idea of what is is like as a lip reader.

When people asked me if I can lipreading, I said below than average; suddenly, they continue to talk and expected me to lipreading. This is one of my most pet peeves in my whole life. I have told myself to say NO even though I can lipreading little to protect from being a victim again. :P
J9Dalton totally can relate!!
only so few would get confused when they asked if i can read lips and I said no, they asked, how did you understand what i just said? i was baffled yet i explained, it's predictable first question they ask every time.
Most people lack in the empathy department. It's difficult for them to look at the world from another person's perspective. We need to help each other in this case.
When I was little we had a neighbor who was deaf, he was super cool. He couldn't lip read, which is the main reason I know a bit of sign language!
I’ve been deaf all my life from birth and attended deaf schools that banned use of sign language which made me struggle always in class. I worked very hard after leaving school to improve my literacy skills which are so vital to my successful architectural career for 41 years and, of course, my independant everyday life. As for lipreading, I have never been good at it but my lipreading skills are somewhat limited to short simple everyday words or sentences which are often fragmented. I just muddle through every day but am forever grateful for my literacy skills without which I would have struggled more in everyday life. It is so vital that deaf children be properly educated in literacy skills which can set them up for the rest of their lives.
Jessica you rock! A powerful message presented with passion and panache!
Lip reading def not easy task at all!
I love your videos I was born hearing and lost it at the age of 23 I'm now 29 n just now reaching a point where I love myself I struggled and was angry for some years I'm more educated about HOH and deafness I dont sign so I depend on lip reading it is very exausting and I'm the only HOH person I know so thank you for sharing and making these videos to educate myself more and my family and most of all thanks for captions on all your videos lol 😁I enjoy them good to know I'm not alone
Jessica, I'm glad that you're trying to raise awareness for everyone that views your videos. I think its a great way to spread awareness to a subject that isn't really discussed that often.
JankFroseph thank you!!! 😊
Yes...yes...that was what Mom , Uncle and friends said the same thing. Keep up and you will make a big impact!
I'm hard of hearing and decent at lip reading so everyone assumes I know what's going on which isn't true! When there's more then one person it's hard to know what's happening. Thanks for bringing awareness for us deaf and hard of hearing people :)
Hola!! eres preciosa y nos haces muchísimo bien!! gracias!!
You are soooo beautiful. God Bless you! 😋😎🤗
I agree lip reading isn't easy. I attended a 8 week lip reading course earlier this year but I found it really hard to learn. I learned a few other thing's on the course like other learning tips which helped me in daily life & it was also great to meet other people with hearing problems, its great to know that I'm not alone in the hearing world!!
There are lip reading courses???
There needs to be an app that picks up what people are saying and puts it into text on your phone so you can follow conversations more easily.
There is but it not that great yet, you need high speed wifi and a really good phone connection :( But I'm sure one day it will be better!
Jessica Flores I don't have true hearing loss, but I had my eardrum ruptured once and I have trouble in loud rooms and background noise. It is hard to follow a conversation and I catch myself watching peoples' mouths to go along with what they are saying. I am also a teacher, so really, I'm sure all those pesky kids have created an environment with constantly high decibel levels which led to this problem. Damn them!
I like to watch your videos.
And keep making'em .
This is why I am going to do the classes. I have had too many times where I couldn't participate in a conversation with really awesome people. I feel I shouldn't have to need a translator in a group of english "speaking" people. I should be able to talk to them myself. So I need to learn how to talk to them in their way and we can all enjoy the conversation and follow it. I wish they taught the basics in schools like (when I was growing up) they made you learn basics of spanish) so everyone at least starts out with the tools for sign language. Soon as I am working again they have the basic "introductory" class for $75 here near me so I can get this creaky old brain moving in that direction lol
Hola Jessica Flores, un gran gusto conocerte :). Tambien soy hipoacusico (perdida bilateral profunda) y leo labios, igual me paso con terapias y todo dificil pero ya despues con la practica uno aprende a leer los labios 1 a 1 es mas facil, cierto y mas de 2 ya es mas dificil. Admirable lo que haces. Buena iniciativa y asi haces que la gente se interese mas en nosotros :). Saludos desde Mexico City, constantinokv en FB.
¡Estoy encantado de conocerte también! Gracias por compartir tu historia aquí. Estoy usando el traductor de Google, así que espero que esto se traduzca a la derecha :)
Jessica Flores sí muy bien traducido :). Very good translate :). Im Constantino kusulas vazquez, ir constantinokv un Facebook. :).
I can so relate to you I started going deaf when I was 13 and I can kinda read lips and moved away from all my deaf friends and family the can sign and no one I know here is willing to learn for me so I miss out on most all conversation and stuff in life
Im so sorry im trying to learn Silent language and how to lips and Morse code
Believe me, I know all about feeling left behind in groups of 2 or larger. LOL The classroom is the WORST place for any deaf or HOH student because everyone is talking from everywhere. I lipread, and there are times that I'd like to staple a talker's mouth shut from incessantly blabbing. Otherwise, I'm a patient person, and like you said, I wouldn't catch every single word a person says when they talk to me one-on-one. Now, flight training in an aircraft is an entirely different matter.
Great video Jessica, thank you for this! I get paid to lipread and my family say "You're only deaf when you want to be" ... haha if only they knew. So I am sharing this one. :)
Thanks for sharing this!! :) and getting paid to lip-read!? oh man.. that sounds like my last customer service job! lol I don't know if I'd be able to do it all the time!
Closed captions for conversations: coming soon! I actually got into the regional finals for inventing glasses that help deaf or HoH people understand conversation better. Yes, I did actually do this. And yes, this does already exsist, it's just a little more complex, with the user having to wear a microphone or speak into a phone.
I unintentionally learned to lip read. I did not even know I was doing it until one day I was watching TV and every time I looked away from the TV I couldnt hear it. Then when I looked at the TV I could hear it. In actuality my brain was filling in the blanks with lip reading and I did not even notice. Sometimes its easier to lip read from the side profile you can see the movements of the tongue better. I depend heavily on lip reading. I think lip reading is easier for someone who wasnt born with hearing loss but had progressive damage overtime. The brain compensates in many ways. The doctor said I have 30% hearing whatever that means but I take the sounds I get along with the lip reading and can communicate going unnoticed by normal hearing people. My family genetically has progressive hearing loss due to chronic ear infections. I was constantly sick. Blood coming from my ears. Lots of surgeries and still another surgery coming up this year. I dont have warm and fuzzy feelings about my hearing loss especially since it has caused me so much pain. I am kind of embarrassed about my hearing aids sometimes. I cant explain how I feel about it other than its my least favorite part of myself. I think people think I am rude sometimes. Dumb sometimes. I worry about it getting worse.
Thanks for sharing your story! I have had tons of ear infections but nothing like what you have been through. I defiantly grew up hating myself for a long time because of my hearing loss and how difficult it made everything for me. It took me a long time to accept my hearing loss as a part of who I was. Just know that you are not alone when it comes to feeling like that and I really do appreciate you sharing your story. :)
Jessica Flores thank you for sharing your story, your videos are great! I dont think there is anyone else doing videos about hearing like you are. I believe your hearing loss is much worse than mine I can get by not wearing my hearing aids. I struggle more with being sick a lot from my ears than I do with my hearing since I can still hear and read lips. My brain is so good at filling in the blanks my disability is invisible to most. I wish I could be as okay with it as you are now.
I need to both hear what someone is saying, and lip read. A lot of sounds are super similar, and I can't really distinguish between them but they look different. A thing a lot of hearing people need to know, lipreading is based so much on context. I can't just jump into a conversation in the middle. A lot of group conversations I'll be on the side, and then people just look at me and im like "um... Yea."
Also, masks make communication really difficult for me, and probably impossible for more profoundly Deaf people. Please be patient.
Hah! You crack me up. I'm in the same boat-- born profoundly hard of hearing. I'm 33 though and have never learned ASL or lipreading. Consensus seems to be that it's not exactly a miracle cure. Until we get super AI zapping perfect sound into our brains, though, I don't see any better options.
If you have never learned ASL or lipreading, how do you communicate then?
I love your videos and I am learning a lot about the heard of hearing community. You need your own reality show, you are really funny and it is fun to learn from you. Thank you
It's funny... I grew up in a hearing family, spent years in speech therapy, went to a Total Communication school for the deaf where we were taught how to listen with our hearing aids/FMs and how to lipread. And to this day, I'm a LOUSY lip reader. If I don't have the auditory input, I can't lipread for the life of me.
Were you born with your hearing loss? I cant imagine learning to lip read if I didnt learn it progressively over time as my hearing got worse and worse. I think people like me who used to be able to hear perfectly as a child dont understand why everyone doesn just use lip reading but now I see it must be so hard to do that if you have never heard the sounds with the movements of the mouth. Its unrealistic to expect lip reading from everyone.
I had hearing for the first 2 years of my life. Was 26 months old when I went deaf from meningitis.
I love it!! This video, and how you are!! I hope you do not take this offending (because I love the actress also!) but you do resemble 'Jennifer Garner' a bit! HEART EYES - I have!!
I know this is going to sound bad, and I'll probably be judged for it but. I learned how to lip-read in jail. There are separations or large groups of people. The space was an entire room across the hall and each room only had one window with bullet and sound proof glass. So I had to stand at that window and lipread what the other person in the other room was saying. That person was also the only one who could lipread in their area so we would pass messages from room to room for anyone else who was to send or receive the messages but could lipread.
No judgement here! What was it like when you first started lip reading? Was it hard/easy?
Hearing people doesn't realize they are asking deaf people to work harder in communication where it's already too hard for us.
I think Hearing think ALL Deaf get that as a gift for being Deaf. Most everyone Hearing ask me first when they learn I am Deaf, "Can you lipread?" I HATE that question, not just because I am poor at it, but because it makes me feel like a cop out for trying to have a clear way of understandable communication.
I have ask people if they could because they seem to follow my mouth when I talk to them before I see them sign. I know a couple people that do SOME lip reading so I know when they are "listening" to what I am saying when they are watching my mouth. But unless I see that I have found that it's rude to expect every deaf person to lip read. I am hoping to get into a basic ASL class this summer. I hate not being able to really communicate with all people I meet.
bloodandcarnage There are ways to communicate that isn't solely talking or signing. I make it a point to always carry paper and pen on me wherever I go, just in case I need to pop into the post office, my son's school, a restaurant... Pointing/miming can work (Deaf are generally good at charades when we need to be), pointing tends to help "My car (pretend to steer a car) is over there (point in the general direction of your car)."
I also use Notepad app on my phone which is useful for like taxis and simple one way conversations. And if you are willing to dish out money they actually have machines that would go between two people like a relay so you have clear communication that way as well, but it is about $1600 I think for it.
All in all, it's really about finding ways to communicate, because like anyone, if you REALLY want to talk to them, you'll figure it out.
Thats true. But I want to be part of a conversation. And, like when I have traveled to other countrys) I learn what I can so I can communicate things but its not enough to have a conversation. Which is what I want.
do deaf ppl have an inner voice? like what do they do when they read!?
I wish she would singe also
me and my fam speak spanish too, but most of my primos switch between english and spanish and im ????! it's normal to speak in slang spanish like they do, but it's so freaking difficult to follow
Oh man... It's kinda crazy how I can tell if someone is speaking in spanish only or english, like the lip shapes are diffrent. But I agree when people are speaking two diffrent languages at once it's so hard to follow!
definitely so! the mouth is much more concrete in english, if you know what i mean.
Hi. I'm 27 and I just became deaf because of a brain disease. I was wondering if you could give me any pointers for lip reading? And sign? How long did it take you to learn? Its a real difficulty for me. I might be too old but I'm trying to learn to lip read.
You are still young! I started really learning ASL your age. It's been two years and I feel pretty comfortable signing but not fluent enough to translate or interpret for others. But one day I will be :) As for lip reading, I have NO IDEA how I picked it up! I think it might have been from speech therapy but again I am not sure. I'm thinking of taking a class because I am curious to see how people teach it. Keep me updated on your progress in lipreading or sign and let me know if you find any solutions that work for you! Take care!
I will! Thank you so much for responding. I'm glad to hear there is hope for me and ASL. I am taking an ASL class in the spring so I will let you know how it goes for me. Lipreading not so well but I am going to keep practicing. I was told to try speaking into a mirror and learning that way but I know what I'm saying so it is a struggle. Again though thank you so much! Take care also. Oh one more thing...your videos are hilarious I'm showing all my hearing friends lol
Carter Grace you rock! 😊 Thank you!!
im okay at lipreading then i tried to lip read you and threw me off.. i realised duh
I’d be very surprised if she doesn’t wear hearing aids at all. I presume most expert lipreaders wear hearing aids and have a good level of pre-existing English knowledge.
If I ask how deaf or hard of hearing are u
Why Not you Jessica Deaf
get speech therapy job to teach deaf people easier
Wait...how old are you? You look like mid twenties.
Very close! I am 65! I know, I know, I look good for my age! The secret is moisturizer and avocados daily!
(Fine... if you must know I am 29 lol)
