Although I am not deaf, I do have significant hearing loss and was taught to
lip-read in elementary school. This is why I have never bothered to see any
of the "Ape" movies or many other films (mostly sci-fi) that have the actors'
real lips covered. (Cartoons and burkas are also a nightmare for the hearing
impaired!) And while I'm no angel, I have never eavesdropped on anyone in my
life.
