At LET, we provide support to individuals with hearing loss throughout Leicestershire, regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity. As a not-for-profit charity, our primary goal is to secure funding to maintain and expand lipreading classes for those in need.
We welcome anyone interested in hearing loss to participate. Our lipreading courses teach essential skills, enabling participants to recognize lip shapes and understand speech through visual cues, such as facial expressions and body language. This training helps individuals engage more fully in conversations, particularly in noisy settings.
In addition to lipreading, our courses offer:
- A welcoming community for sharing experiences
- A social aspect that fosters connection among participants
- Effective coping strategies
- Tips on positioning and focusing
- Communication techniques for those without hearing loss
- Information on technical aids and equipment for home use
To accommodate diverse needs, we offer both online and face-to-face classes, ensuring accessibility for everyone. Our courses help boost confidence in social and professional environments, promoting greater independence and self-esteem. Unlike traditional classes, our interactive sessions—led by a qualified instructor—are enjoyable and engaging.
We currently hold classes in Loughborough, Birstall and online- with more coming soon. If you would like classes in a particular area of Leicestershire, please get in touch today.
Join us to enhance your communication skills, build connections, and become part of a supportive community!
