About this course

Come and learn about lipreading and gather information relevant to hearing loss.

The intent of this course is to enable you to develop confidence and skills to communicate effectively both socially and at work.

Within a supportive group you will practise and develop your lipreading skills and strategies for face to face communication. You will also learn about trickier lip shapes and tactics to help you manage difficult listening situations.

Find out about equipment, organisations, and research relevant to hearing loss.

Our courses run over a period of weeks for a term three times a year from September to July plus short courses at the start of summer. Enrolments open each term in March, July and November. If courses have already started you may still be able to join so please contact us.
