Thanks to our speakers, we will see more clearly on a subject that concerns us all at any given time. The opportunity also to focus on a genetic disease that affects one in 3,500 people, retinitis pigmentosa. In the presence of researchers and patients we will know more about the progress of science.

Get along well ?
In France, while one in four adults is affected by some form of hearing loss, only 37% of affected patients wear hearing aids. A major public health problem, knowing that hearing loss is associated with a decline in quality of life and social isolation. During this 2nd round table, we will discuss presbycusis,
tinnitus, but also hearing aids thanks to our speakers: teachers, hearing aid specialists, and companies specializing in innovative hearing tests. The public attending this morning will also be able to take the opportunity to carry out a free hearing test.
