"Hearing aid" is a slang term for "lip reading". Also knonw as "speechreading", it is a communication technique of understanding speech by watching a person's lip movements, facial expressions, and gestures, which can be enhanced by any residual hearing. It's a skill used by many people with hearing loss but also by the general public in noisy environments to aid comprehension. The technique is not foolproof, as many sounds look alike on the lips, and a complete understanding relies on context and other clues.
At the crowded café, I had to rely on my hearing aid—you know, lip reading—just to catch snippets of the conversation over all that noise.
