Hi, Thank you for your query 1. His report shows a mixed hearing loss, part SNHL and part CHL. 2. Ideally, if the Conductive Hearing Loss (CHL) component can be diagnosed and treated, he may not require a hearing aid as his SN (Sensorineural) component of the hearing loss is mild.
Next Steps
3. Get his Impedance audiometry done and share the report here.
Health Tips
4. As per his current moderately severe hearing loss, he needs hearing aids. Regards.
