da compromettere la loro normale vita di relazione;
le persone con problemi di udito di varia entità sono oltre 6.000.000.
La perdita di udito è la più diffusa, ma anche la meno conosciuta, condizione invalidante
ed è più diffusa delle malattie di cuore, del cancro, della cecità,
della tubercolosi, della sclerosi multipla, delle malattie venere considerate nel loro insieme.»
