Shadow · Answer

My guess is that since they can read lips, they can probably mimic the way we move our mouth and tongue to create sounds and words.

Shadow · Answer

That's prob why when a deaf person talks, you know what they are saying, but it can sound a bit off.

Def seems like something you can practice, and maybe even work with a coach to get the sounds right.

y2kmwah · Answer

Shadow · Answer

Using their sight, they can see how we use our lips, mouth, tongue, etc, to create certain sounds. Then they just mimic that, to create the sound.

Aratox · Answer

Deaf people don't hear, they usually never do, either, unless they have a special operation performed on them. They [learn to] read lips, for the most part, but cannot understand sounds that are created by animals/inanimate objects. As for communication, deaf people communicate using sign language.
