sign language and lip reading
Dear "JamesBloke", To clarify the issue of Red Metcalfe signing to Susan in some scenes and she apparently lipreading in others...Some hearing-impaired people use both techniques and sometimes at the same time. They are not mutally exclusive. There is an American program, Sue Frye, F-B-Eye, on the PAX network about a hearing impaired FBI agent who employs speaking, signing,lip reading and a hearing assistance dog, named Levi. The actor who plays "Sue" is hearing impaired and has a hearing impaired "accent".
