Hello,
Your father needs to have an audiogram done to check his hearing and determine the kind of hearing loss he is having.
After that, the doctor may prescribe hearing aids for him to help him have a better hearing. Unfortunately, he will continue to have hearing loss and the aids help improve the hearing but do not treat it definitely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
