00:00This is the subtitle of my prison
00:05How are you ?
00:07Adele?
00:10Didn't you hear me when I arrived?
00:12No, it's just that I was focused on something else.
00:15Adele?
00:16You need to see a doctor.
00:18You can't continue like this, you can't hear us when we talk to you.
00:21You're always somewhere else, that's dangerous.
00:23Seriously, you need to stop turning a deaf ear.
00:27No pun intended.
00:30I think I'm scared.
00:32Finally, you see, I'm afraid of unexpected silence.
00:35I'm afraid of seeing you become dependent on a device.
00:39Actually, I don't have it, I'm just scared.
00:40I know.
00:41But just because you're scared doesn't mean everything will get better, you see.
00:49So, all the tests we've done show that you have
00:52progressive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss,
00:55probably of genetic origin.
00:57And is it possible to explain that to me again in simpler words?
01:00In fact, the cochlea...
01:01The organ of Louis in the inner ear gradually deteriorates.
01:04And that's something that can't be treated medically.
01:06And to be honest, it's quite unpredictable.
01:08Finally, it can accelerate, it can stabilize, it can also lead to profound deafness.
01:13So, that means there's nothing to be done.
01:15That means I'm just going to go deaf, basically.
01:18Well, a hearing aid can be fitted.
01:21And I can put you in touch with a speech therapist.
01:23This will allow us to anticipate potential language difficulties.
01:26I know it can be very difficult.
01:28Even more so at your age.
01:29But if you want, I can give you some names of associations.
01:32There are many people who have experienced the same thing.
01:35And that will allow you to feel understood.
01:37To talk with other people.
01:39To feel less alone too, perhaps.
01:46Hi.
01:47How are you ?
01:48No.
01:50Like an absolute void, there.
01:52You know, I watch people.
01:53I see them moving, I see them talking, but...
01:56They are too far away, I can't hear them.
01:58In fact, it's as if the images are there, but the sound is gone.
02:00You know I'm here.
02:02For now, you're here.
02:03But honestly, Bianca, you're not going to last.
02:05Finally, you know that there will come a time when we won't understand each other anymore.
02:09What are we going to do? Are we going to text each other all the time?
02:20You learned sign language.
02:23I've started.
02:24In fact, I figured that if you were learning, I should learn too.
02:28Because the goal is for you to be able to communicate, so...
02:31You... Well, you're not going to talk to yourself, you see.
02:39Can I ask you something, then?
02:41When I don't understand.
02:43Or when I'm lost, when...
02:46That I can no longer follow.
02:48Explain it to me.
02:50Be the tool of my prison.
