title: [Legislative and statutory protection of the hearing-impaired population].
abstract: Ever since the notion of the Recognition of the Nation instituted by the Constituent Assembly in 1790, numerous bills drafted to aid the handicapped, and more specifically the hard-of-hearing, have been adapted. The regulations, institutions, management systems, allowances and benefits are detailed both for the child and for the adult. This paper provides a summary up-date to help both rehabilitators and the handicapped themselves.
