No, not all hearing people can either! Reading lips is not something specifically that Deaf people can do, it is something that Deaf people HAVE done and sometimes need to do in order to exist and participate in a conversation where signing is not an option. Most people can not read lips, it is also virtually impossible to read lips accurately 100%.
Hi floratang. I understand that you want to know how you should refer to someone who can't hear or speak. That's a good question. Technically speaking, a person who can't hear is deaf and a person who can't speak is dumb. So, you could simply say: He is deaf and dumb. Some people would say He's a deaf-mute.. But I understand that deaf people who also don't speak (because they're deaf) prefer to be called just deaf.
