Although NUBSLI are not representatives for lipspeakers. It's still worth lipspeakers checking out the #NUBSLI calculator. Lipspeaking fees continue to spiral in the wrong direction, as agents battle to secure large contracts for our work #KnowYourWorth

Following people's mouth as they talk from the side - after I said I use lipreading. It happens all the time. I move to the front of them and have them repeat. Lipreading is a lot of advocacy. I'll add that to the list.

Empower Yourself: Changing Mindsets about HearingΒ Loss The World Health Organization (WHO) named March 3rd World Hearing Day, aiming to raise awareness about hearing loss and promote ear and hearing care globally. This year's theme is "Changing Mindsets: empower yourself to make ear and hearing care a reality for all." It is a powerful theme because it puts the person with hearing loss in the driver's seat, acknowledging that the attitudes we hold about our hearing loss and the actions we take to advocate for ourselves are key to how well we live with it.
