Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D, E
The fencing reflex is elicited when the infant is placed on his or her back; it does not indicate a hearing impairment. Awakening by a loud environmental noise is a normal response.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
Signs of a hearing impairment in a child include yelling to express pleasure, asking to have statements repeated, foot stamping for vibratory sensation, and failure to develop intelligible speech by age 24 months. The child's behavior is shy, not outgoing.
