towards the client. Inspection of the hearing aide device's functionality is a vital step in
communication (D). Hearing aides magnify all surrounding noise, so it is imperative to reduce
outside environmental noise during the interview process (E). Speaking clearly with
enunciation and in a regular tone is easier for a client to understand than increasing the
volume of speech (B). If a client shows signs of confusion, rephrasing the question, instead of
repeating (C), should be done to decrease client anxiety and facilitate understanding.
