Hearing loss

2017-12-26 14:47:58
Hi, My dad is 75 years old. He is experiencing hearing loss on his left ear and mild hearing loss in his right ear. We did an audio-gram and we are suggested to go with hearing aid. They say the root cause is the age and also because of anaesthesia(he had a gall bladder removal surgery a month back). Is there an alternative to cure this without going with a hearing aid?
