Finish this sentence: She probably needs time to learn how to listen, to use her residual hearing. Maybe...

• we will just have to order one that goes louder.

• she is just ignoring us right now because she is more interested in her book.

• that will take time for her to learn how to listen

• that's why they call it an auditory trainer - is isn't for talking, the way her hearing will be, its for training her to use her hearing.
