@ deaf and hard of hearing people who read lips : is it considered rude to make my mouth movements a little slower or more prominent to help you understand clearer? I tend to talk fast & mumble and I don't want to overdo it or seem offensive and condescending, but I also have heard that reading lips when someone naturally mumbles/talks fast can be difficult? Are there any steps I can take to make communicating with you easier? I can't find any rescources written by real deaf/HOH ppl on this unfortunately
