Sordo tutto is the curse that affects a man’s hearing. When the curse is in effect, the cursed man does not hear clearly whenever a woman talks to him. Often, the afflicted man will not hear some portion of what a woman says to him. Sometimes he hears nothing at all that she says.
Women who practice this STREGA craft, afflict a man so that he hears garbled speech from a woman if he hears anything at all. The curse is especially useful when an Italian wife does not want her husband to hear a woman telling him her name, her phone number, or her address.
The danger of activating this curse is that the man may not hear any female voice. If a wife is talking to an afflicted man, he may not hear any of what she says, possibly none of it.
There is no regulatory control mechanism for this curse. Therefore, it cannot be regulated so that some female conversation is heard. It is a nothing-at-all or else-everything control. Most Italian women choose the ‘nothing-at-all’ which explains why husbands sometimes do not hear anything an Italian wife says.
