For Galahe explains this week that he has deafness. The single dad remembers the precise moment when he had to recognize the truth, after feeling embarrassed in front of another comedian. “I increased the sound of the television. Depending on my fatigue, I spoke less and less loudly. I often had the impression that others were articulating badly or whispering. Ever since I was a child, I had grown accustomed to lip-reading. I often asked for the words to be repeated. My loved ones couldn’t take it anymore“ he explains.
Quickly, Pascal Elbé made the decision to get fitted, preferring to act instead of “fold back” on him. “Once this decision was made, I was able to reconnect with the others” he adds, revealing that the first few weeks have been complicated, the time he finds new bearings. “At first, it was horror ! The are were amplified. Through this strange misadventure that existence has given me, I discovered that I was combative” explains the actor, far from lamenting.
