More information
This course follows 'Lip Reading - Confident Lip Reading Part 1' and is not suitable for complete beginners. You will follow a structured programme of exercises to develop lip reading techniques. We will also cover other aspects of managing hearing loss and it is a good chance to meet other people in the same situation if you have been feeling isolated. The class will be for people who have acquired hearing loss and use English as a main means of communication (i.e. not people born deaf and not BSL users). It is not aimed at people with full hearing but at people who are struggling to communicate with a hearing loss they have acquired during their life.

Can I join late?
Yes, up to week 2 with tutor's agreement.
