Sordità infantile, la riabilitazione inizia dalla diagnosi
Più di mezzo milione di adulti soffre di una sordità grave invalidante e sono oltre mille i bambini che, ogni anno, nascono con sordità congenita, determinata da una lesione della coclea, l'organo sensoriale dell'udito. Una situazione preoccupante e per di più in peggioramento, visto che, secondo l'Associazione italiana per la ricerca deafness on the annual increase of hearing problems is about two percentage points. Regardless of age, however, the hearing impairment if not properly managed, can lead to communication difficulties and social skills as well as disrupt the quality of life for those affected. This is why early diagnosis is crucial and speech rehabilitation can make a difference. These are the main topics of the European Day of speech, which is celebrated on March 6. The press conference to present the event was an opportunity to take stock of the situation.
