Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The child should be helped to learn and understand how to read lips by speaking at an even rate. It interferes with the child's comprehension of the spoken word to exaggerate pronunciation of words, to avoid using facial expressions, and to repeat in exactly the same way if the child does not understand.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Conductive or middle-ear hearing loss is the most common type. It results from interference of transmission of sound to the middle ear, most often from recurrent otitis media. Sensorineural, mixed conductive-sensorineural, and central auditory imperceptive are less common types of hearing loss.
