To all:  Lipreading

     Just express my viewpoint.  Lipreading is not 100% accurate.
With my hearing aid and watch people's lips closely, I can understand
about 80%.  It take a while to get use to someone's lip movement.
Some people talk without move their lips, for example, Barbara
Walters.  I watched 20/20 all the time, and unable to read her
lips, so I read the captions instead.

     It take time and patience to master the skill of lipreading.
