Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear she may having age related sensoneural deafness, hearing aid need to be worn to stimulate the brain to recognize and process sounds and contrary to some popular myths, proper wearing of hearing aids will not lead to further deterioration of your hearing but help you immensely with daily tasks and leading a sociable life.
So hearing aid if you use properly may won't cause deafness, if she is not able hear with hearing aid may need cochlear implants. Please consult your Ent surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
