He seems to be suffering from presbycusis (age related deafness). The "generator running" sounds you mentioned is called tinnitus. It is a common associated. There is no permanent cure as all of us age and it cannot be prevented. Consult an ENT specialist who will ask you to get his ears tested through a test called audiometry. The treatment for presbycusis is hearing aid.
