Someone who can understand speech by watching the speaker's mouth (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lip reader

(Other definitions for lip reader that I've seen before include "may well be deaf?" , "Interpreter of mouth movements" , "One compensating for deafness" , "Person interpreting from mouth movements" , "One, usually deaf, who uses sight to understand conversation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
