He become older to get better result. You can go for hearing aid trial and fitting but prognosis of speech and language development is poor.

Dear sir, The only treatment I can think after reading your description is Cochlear Implant. Though, the benefit of cochlear implant is best at younger ages but we have seen good results with older children also. If you want to learn more about cochlear implant you can consult through this portal. Thank you.
