Could you speak and lipead?
 

I cannot speak or lipead. Zip-zero.

P.S. I apologize for deleting my other thread of the same topic because I did not realize I posted it without poll nor did I realize the thread was already created. I kinda screwed up because I'm still very new to this forum. It has more complex features that I have to get used to.

Oh that is fine. I'll vote.

<---Illiterate at lipreading

Same goes fer speaking

I can speak and lipread... not that well but it's enuff...

I can talk and lipread so I'm fine with both.

I can lipread and talk just fine, wish I could talk on the phone but I have no idea what the hell the person on the other side is saying.. bummer..

Hmm Didnt i posted here? Ah well. I am oral. I can lipread but only when the background is to loud. Im HOH.

yeah, I can speak and lipread too, but I can't talk on phone!!

Depend on peoples for lipread if they speak too fast. I speak pretty well.

I can lip reading and speaking pretty good.. Not too GOOD lol

can speak or lipread (better with HA on)

I can speak very well, and lipread well. Lipreading goes a thousand times better with my CI. I'm still at the beginning stages of my journey, so lipreading is still important.

:boink: :laugh2:

Lipreading is important? Not until you lose all of your vision caused by injury/accident, aging, or eye disease. :)

I can do both. I can catch about 90-95% of what the person says when Im lipreading.. when I speak, I speak clearly enough for those that know me well, but for those that don't, sometimes it's difficult.

Suppose I said, "Did you see my cat?"

Would you know if it was cat, hat, bat, date, gate, kite, or rat.

I can both speak and lip read.

i have been "trained" to do lipreading and speaking -- my lipreading skills has gone down the drains and i dont particularly care and so has my speech skills has gone down the drain too *shrugs*

:werd: I don't care about my speech either.. I prefer ASL.

Hi, I can talk and lip read... I lipread perhaps 70% of the time as it depends on who I am talking with and how fast the person's talking, etc. I think I could do better but just can't be bothered cos I'm Deaf. :P

I'm profound deaf, and I lipread and speak well enough to carry on a conversation with family and friends who know me so well. With strangers, that's different. I often repeat after what he/she said to make sure that I get it right to avoid any misunderstanding. :thumb: (I don't wear any hearing aids nor any devices.)

I can both speak and lip read relatively well I think. I'm understood pretty well, and my lipreading skills aren't bad, it depends on whether the person has a beard, or if it's dark and those sort of things. But in good conditions, I lip read well enough.

Whaaaaaaat?? Whaaaaaaat?? I can't hear you! Oh, wait, I can lipread and speak. Thank yoooooouuuuuu!

I can talk and read lips very well. I can still hear on the phone with family and friends as well as I'm HoH.

Strange but true... I cant speak/read lips but I can hear pretty good.

I can lip read and speak well spent nearly 18 yrs of speech therapy and well lip reading too, Sooo i can't hear too well on phone cuz of the wordings can mumble BUT i do talk to my mom on the phone so she knows to speak slow for me! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/j0/clever.gif

Vote for Can Lipread.... as kid, I had Oral and Hearing. but it been gone since I signs LOT than talking. :D

can speechread and talk pretty well. Everyone says I have a VERY "deaf"/hoh voice and I have been asked several times if I am from the UK. I have a LOT of trouble with modulating my voice, especially when I am wicked tired. Also have trouble with articulating some words. It's hard for me to remember how to pronounce some words so I'll pronounce the words phoneticlly.

Well, I am proud to admit that I am an oral failure because I tried hard to pronounce words for people to understand me, but it was difficult for me. I had been in speech therapy from age of three through high school years. Speech therapy is not effective for me at all. Instead, I rather to use sign language to form communication with people. I have to educate hearing people about Deaf language and culture.... it is so weary. ASL is like foreign language to the people. Shrugs.

It depends on the individual I think and their enthusiasm for learning. I myself find it really easy to lipread sometimes and sometimes I don't. It just depends. I can hear some words sometimes, and I'm teaching my boyfriend to learn sign so if I don't understand what he's saying, he can just sign it out or write it down. I usually like to lipread/talk so writing down things isn't too much of a hassle.
