Discussion
Which of the following statements is correct in the context of hearing impairment ?
Answer: A
The correct statement is that hearing impairment can affect a child's ability to communicate effectively.
Hearing is the main channel through which children acquire spoken language, so hearing loss, especially early in life, can delay speech and language and make communication harder unless it is identified and supported.
The other statements overgeneralise. Many children with hearing impairment use hearing aids, cochlear implants, lip reading or spoken language, so not all need sign language. Making loud noises near a child is not a reliable test; audiometry is. And hearing loss is not always a physical problem of the ear, since it can also arise from the auditory nerve or the brain's processing of sound.
