Hi Rajani. hanks for your query and for using Health Care magic.

You friend seem to having sensory neural hearing loss in left ear. She does not want to use hearing aid.
She will need a detailed evaluation to find out the cause and extent of her hearing loss.
If its mainly neurological, the best option for her would be to undergo cochlear implant.

Your friend should consult your ENT specialist for this.

Hope this answers your query.
Thanks and Regards.
