A member asked:

Does anyone know if there is a cure besides hearing aids for hard of hearing people?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps: First, see an ENT doctor to determine the actual cause of the hearing loss. There are cochlear implants (which are said to be less effective in the elderly). There may be other solutions, but this will depend upon why your hearing is lost.
