Frédéric Lopez, 56, reveals he suffers from a degenerative disease, otosclerosis. A pathology which has already caused the flagship host of France 2 to lose half of his hearing.

The host of A Sunday in the Country and Rendez-vous en terre stranger claims to no longer hear in his right ear. “I have 50% of my faculties and tinnitus, comparable to the noise of a vacuum cleaner all the time,” says the host.
