ANS: B
The whistling sound is acoustic feedback. The nurse should have the child remove the hearing aid and reinsert it, making sure no hair is caught between the ear mold and the ear canal. Ignoring the sound or suggesting he raise the volume of the hearing aid would be annoying to others. The hearing aids are molded specifically for each ear.
