Has anyone here know how to lip read at all and if so has it been worth the time learning? I spend a large amount of time with ear buds in and a large amount of time in night clubs so I think it could be particularly valuable for me.
I was taught a little lipreading when I was a child to help with my hearing-impairment. I wasn't that impressed although apparently really good lipreaders can get a lot out of it. Not sure how you'd learn it, though.
Yeah, for it to be worth learning I might need to find a teacher and it would probably be very hard. I could try looking for youtube videos on it and then practising the techniques in everyday life, I suppose.
As it happens, a while back I was musing that lipreading could be a good online business for a few people: http://www.gwern.net/Notes#lip-reading-website
(I used to be worried that puberty would cost me my remaining hearing - it seems to randomly happen to some people - and that I might have to really depend on lipreading. It didn't happen, fortunately.)
