Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Patients must understand that, even with a hearing aid, their problems will not be solved. Although hearing will improve, it will not return to normal. Speech may sound distorted through the aid because when speech is amplified, so are all environmental noises, which can be most uncomfortable and disturbing to the individual. Hearing is never normal even with hearing aids and they should not be purchased by mail order. Their use is not limited to hearing loss from previous noise exposure.

Answer to Question 2

D
