My father lost hearing almost 90% all of a sudden at the age of 86 years. The doctor advised that the loss of hearing is due to destruction of nerves due to old age. Is this curable or else hearing aid is required to be used. What is the correct rating and make of the hearing aid that can be used?

Most probably its age related and your father has a sensorineural type of hearing loss. Sometimes steroids and multivitamins works in young age tht is also very little. At this age (86) hearing aid is a must without any doubt.
