Lip Reading Academy

"The class was helpful to me as a support - just hearing about and meeting others with similar problems was an encouragement. Also, knowing that there are options for help was valuable to me.... All parts of the class were beneficial in some way. For example, I am now personally more aware of how a hearing loss affects relationships. I feel that I am more sensitive to others with the same disability.... "
~ Phyllis Holwerda, Chattanooga TN

From the class, I learned a number of techniques to make communication better, as well as statistics and resources to help the hearing impaired.... One thing that helped me the most was learning to be a little more assertive in letting others know I have a hearing impairment, and what each of us can do to make communication (and thus) life much more meaningful; specifically, among other tips, to explain to people that I read lips; that what they say is important to me, and I need to see their face.... I was impressed with David's commitment in helping others, and the caring he shared with everyone in the classes.... I know this academy can help others...."

David and Cathy Harrison's Lip Reading Academy class has been a learning experience both educational and "eye-opening". It has given me insight into obstacles the hard-of-hearing are confronted with each day - insight that I never would have understood without attending this class. It has also created in me the interest to pursue further learning about lip reading."

"I have a hearing loss and found myself tuning out of conversations because I could not hear what was going on.... After attending lip reading class I listen more intently, communication has improved. Going to class with others who are experiencing some of the same difficulty that I had had was encouraging. Having a teacher who has had a lifetime of overcoming hearing loss was very helpful.
~ Albert Covington, Chattanooga TN

"The classes were informative and very helpful. I would recommend this not only to people who suffer from hearing loss, but to their friends and family, because this is one of the most misunderstood handicaps in the world."
