Has he been taking antibiotics? There are some antibiotics that are ototoxic (damaging to the ears). For the life of me, I cannot remember which ones they are. Look up the medicine that he is taking on WebMD or other analogous web site and look up side effects of the antibiotic. Call the doctor if hearing loss is significant or if it worsens. Good Luck
