What would happen if a person with perfectly hearing uses a hearing aid? do they get supersonic hearing?

Unforunately no: Human can only hear certain sound frequencies and hearing-aids are designed to amplify mostly the voice/sound frequencies that a person normally hears. Amplification only means to make a sound louder. Thus, you cannot hear more than what your ear is capable of. Wearing hearing aids actually is quite annoying for a person with normal hearing. Ask someone you know to try it out. Good luck.
