Notaro/Capesam....Question

[jugstah]

I may have missed this thread, but I am also deaf, like Notaro.

And I am very proficient at lipreading. I think I speak for most deaf people that it is important to follow a few things.

People need to understand that they need to speak clearly, and this includes moving your lips in a way that we can read it. Often, I meet people who speak and they barely move their lips at all, and they are almost impossible to understand.

And there are people who grow the mountain look on their face, and as such, do not keep their facial hairs trimmed. How can a guy lipread a person whose lips are overrun with mustache?

Also, not only do people forget, but facial expressions are as important to speaking to deaf people as tonal frequencies when someone relays a story to a hearing person is....
