My mother-in-law did get fit professionally for her hearing aids while in her 90s. I know that they cost a bit over five thousand dollars. I really don't know if insurance covered any of the cost. She was very happy with hers. On the other hand, my brother-in-law, who has suffered with hearing loss since he was quite young, is always trying to cut corners so ends up with cheap aids that squeak and squeal and emit occasional ear-piercing sounds....as well as static.
I honestly have no idea if the salesperson coming to speak to your brother-in-law sells legitimate hearing aids, but it would seem to me that any reputable company would require a medical evaluation and a trip to a good audiologist.
I wish him the best. I can only imagine how terribly frustrated he must feel. Will you let us know how it all works out for him? I hope he gets a good pair of hearing aids.
