Explanation:

Question 20

• "Aphasic" refers to a language disorder, not hearing issues.
• "Hard of hearing" means some hearing ability, but the patient doesn't respond to noises, suggesting a more severe hearing loss.
• "Suffering from Alzheimer disease" affects memory/cognition, not directly hearing responses.
• "Deaf" means a person has little to no hearing, so not responding to noises/words fits this.

• "Organic brain syndrome" affects brain function broadly, not specific to speech assistance.
• "Congenital deafness" is a hearing condition, not speech impairment.
• "Amnesia" is memory loss, unrelated to speech.
• "Inability to speak normally" (aphasia - related or other speech disorders) would require an electrolarynx for communication, as it assists those with speech difficulties.

Answer:

deaf (the option corresponding to "deaf")
