Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Persons with hearing loss hear low-frequency tones better than high-frequency tones; sign language is a useful addition for understanding. Shouting seldom helps, though facing the person does. Although family members may be tempted to just give up and talk with each other, ignoring the person with hearing loss, doing so neglects the person's needs. Hearing aids should be purchased only following expert evaluation and diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

A
Restful sleep may be possible only in the sitting position or with the aid of extra pillows.
