First meet an ENT Specialist who will clean up her ear canals and then send her to an audiologist for audiometry and hearing aid trials. You can get a decent RIC type Hearing Aid for about ₹25000. Do not be suckered onto buying the cheaper BTE aids which will only end up as an expensive paperweight at your home!
