Lip Reading Class

It's a condition many of us assume is linked with older age, but it's thought around sixty thousand people across Leicestershire and Rutland are struggling with hearing loss and now there's a fear that there will be a future epidemic with thousands at risk of developing hearing problems. One lip-reading teacher in the County says our increased use of electronic devices, like headphones is creating huge problems, with younger people particularly at risk. Jo Hayward went along to one of the relatively few lip-reading classes available in the County. This one was held at Loughborough Library and run by Jane Futcher with help from the Leslie Edwards Trust.
