First we need to examine his ears. If there is ear wax it needs to be removed and then the ear drum needs to be checked. Later he will need to get a hearing test done to determine the level of hearing loss. Based on that, he may be prescribed a hearing aid.
Next Steps
use Soliwax ear drops 2-3 drops in the ear multiple times a day for a week and then visit for ear wax removal.
