Hearing loss at the age of 65 is probably presbyacusis which is nothing but age related sensory neural hearing loss. If confirmed only option available for such kind of hearing loss is hearing aids. He Needs to undergo ear examination, pure tone audiogram to confirm the diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
