Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Speaking in clear, low-pitched tones is often more easily understood by individuals with hearing impairments, as high-pitched sounds can be harder to hear. Shouting, speaking rapidly, or altering the tone of voice in other ways can actually make comprehension more difficult.
