In the masters program in "Deaf Ed" at the University of North Florida, the
teachers--both normal hearing and
profoundly hearing impaired always combined speech and "AmSlam" so that
students learned speech-reading
as well as "digital" reading.  Profoundly visually impaired students seem to
prosper by learning to listen more
carefully;  profoundly hearing impaired can achieve if they learn to pay
better attention to visual clues.
Scott Catledge

There's also the use of facial expression in sign languages: a huge
amount can be communicated in a semi-universal fashion through the
facial expressions used behind individual signs. Using the lip patterns
of oral languages tends to suppress this channel of communication, which
is one reason for avoiding speaking or mouthing at the same time as
signing. Facial expression is used for indicating interrogatives, size,
feelings and more.
