Which of the following is NOT a mobility device?

In orientation and mobility practice, mobility devices are tools that help a traveler with vision loss move safely and find their way. A cane provides physical support and helps detect obstacles and changes in terrain. GPS offers navigation information, routes, and landmarks to guide travel. A guide dog is trained to lead the traveler and avoid obstacles. A hearing aid, on the other hand, amplifies sound to improve hearing but does not assist with movement, navigation, or obstacle awareness. Because it doesn’t directly support getting from place to place or staying safe while moving, it is not considered a mobility device.
