A middle-aged client who wears glasses and has a slight hearing problem needs a hearing aid that may be attached to eyeglasses and is not too expensive. Which of the following hearing aid devices is best suited for the client?
A) Behind-the-ear device
B) Body aid device
C) Infrared listening device
D) In-the-ear device
A
Feedback:
The best hearing device for this client is a behind-the-ear device, which consists of a microphone and amplifier worn behind the ear. The behind-the-ear device can be attached to an eyeglass frame as well. The in-the-ear device is small, self-contained, and fits within the client's ear. The body aid device is not suitable as the client does not have a severe hearing problem. Infrared listening devices (IRLDs) are expensive.
