I was taught a little lipreading when I was a child to help with my hearing-impairment. I wasn’t that impressed although apparently really good lipreaders can get a lot out of it. Not sure how you’d learn it, though.
Yeah, for it to be worth learning I might need to find a teacher and it would probably be very hard. I could try looking for youtube videos on it and then practising the techniques in everyday life, I suppose.
(I used to be worried that puberty would cost me my remaining hearing—it seems to randomly happen to some people—and that I might have to really depend on lipreading. It didn’t happen, fortunately.)

As it happens, a while back I was musing that lipreading could be a good online business for a few people: http://www.gwern.net/Notes#lip-reading-website
