Brief Answer:
Hii. Welcome to the healthcare services. Your father is having presbycusis.

Detailed Answer:
Hii. Welcome to the healthcare services. Your father is having presbycusis. It means that he is having hearing loss due to weakness of the hearing nerve due to increased age. He definitely needs a hearing test and a hearing aid. Before taking a hearing aid he needs to do hearing test by an audiometrist. After seeing the hearing status we can decide what type of hearing aid will be good for him. He needs to get a trial of hearing aid before using it at home. So you can't use a hearing aid from XXXXXXX You can avoid going to hospital for covid for next 6-8 months due to covid. Age related hearing loss is not an emergency. No harm is there in taking hearing aid late. Tell him to use pen,paper or electronic device for communicating. Give him some vitamin supplement to delay the further hearing loss. Temporal arteritis generally need steroid course to treat it. Please review if you have any queries.

Detailed Answer:
Hii. I have seen the report. Audiogram is showing bilateral right sloping curve. It indicates moderate sensorineural hearing loss. The cause is age related. With increase in age there is weakness of the hearing nerve. There is no permanent treatment for this. Give him vitamin supplement. Avoid loud exposure of sound,ototoxic drug that can damage hearing more. You can take him to audiometrist for hearing aid. He needs hearing aid for better hearing. Please review if you have any queries.
