guessing. His way of communicating with co-workers was by writing notes.

In a later decade, another deaf co-worker communicated by signing. Some of us at work learned to sign, maybe not fluently but at least enough to communicate.

Has anyone here ever known a deaf person in RL who really was able to communicate well just by lip reading? IMO, if there are such people they are rare.
