Le 114, the emergency call number for deaf and hard of hearing people in France, celebrates its 15th anniversary, reports RFI on Thursday, October 16, 2026.
This service allows emergencies to be received via text or video connections, providing adapted access to emergency services for deaf or hard of hearing individuals. It is a useful system that can save lives, especially on roads or in transportation.
Furthermore, although deaf people drive in France, this is not the case in all countries, where driving is sometimes prohibited for them.
