Lipreading and managing hearing loss

Lipreading Classes

Learn to manage your hearing loss and improve your communication skills through lipreading

Losing your hearing can happen to anyone, at any age, and there's no one-size-fits-all experience. Lipreading, often combined with a hearing aid, is a fantastic way to manage hearing loss, enhance communication, and improve your quality of life.

At City Lit, we offer lipreading and hearing loss management classes to boost your communication skills and confidence in social situations. Most of our tutors have personal experience with hearing loss and teach from lived experience.

Join others facing similar challenges with our in-person courses or learn from the comfort of your home with our online options.
