🇫🇷 "J'ai grandi avec une perte d'audition. La communication n'a jamais été quelque chose que je considère comme acquis. Mais plutôt comme une expérience en soi.
À cause de ma surdité, ce n'était pas possible, pour moi, d'utiliser un téléphone. Et il m'a toujours semblé que ma vie serait beaucoup plus facile si je pouvais juste décrocher mon téléphone. Et appeler. Qui je veux. Quand je le veux.
Avec des amis, nous avons tenté de résoudre ce défi. Notre but était de trouver une solution aussi simple que "Bonjour, ravi de te lire !""

🇺🇸 'I grew up with a hearing loss. Communication has never been something I took for granted. But rather as an experience in itself.
Because of my deafness, I was not able to use a telephone. It had always seemed to me like my life would be so much easier if I could just pick up a phone. And call. Anyone, anytime.
I teamed up with friends to solve the challenge. Our goal was to come up with something as easy as "Hello, nice to read you."'
