You got that right! Jenni, I can't hear at all, so when I get nonsense at the lips, I have to guess everything from context, expressions, body language, etc. Maybe you're doing the same . . . reading what they're "feeling," not what they're "saying."
Hi, Raykat. Nice to "hear" from you again. Your example is really deep. It's true that one BIG barrier to speech reading is with some of the people we have to read, it's all about them . . . never any concern about the exhausting effort we're going through.
Off-topic about the piano playing: I can't begin to imagine the skill and cleverness of a little girl who learns the mechanics of the keyboard without the ability to hear the nuances. That's one smart little cookie.
