Summary

This study looked at how children aged 8-11, both with and without hearing loss, use their eyes to read lips and understand speech. Researchers tested their speechreading skills and tracked where they looked on a speaker's face. The goal was to find which gaze patterns lead to the best understanding, and to use that knowledge to create a speechreading training app for children with hearing impairment.
