It may be age related hearing loss, get a pure tone audiometry done to assess the degree of hearing loss.

This is called sudden sensorineural deafness. It is an emergency . You have wasted 10 days. You should have immediately seen an ENT specialist. Get a pure tone audiometry. If your mother is not a diabetic or with high blood pressure start immecdiately Tab Prednisolome 40 mg twice daily and Tab Trental SR twice daily for one week
