What's your native language if you don't mind me asking? Learning a second spoken language is pretty impressive. I could only grasp written languages as my understanding of spoken languages was pretty difficult.
Thanks for your suggestion, that should really help. About the second spoken language, it is not that impressive in India. besides the fact that I lost my hearing later, and that too on one side. In India a grasp over three languages is usually the norm, proficiency of course varies. My native language is Bengali, though I picked up its written form fairly late. Mainly because my schooling was spread over a number of states and each has its own language.
Another round of thanks for initiating this nice thread, hope it helps you as much as it helped me.

Try a vibrator: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Vibrating_ale... Works for me! Lip reading can only help so much. Try mouthing "Island view" to people and they definitely misunderstand you.
