If they weren't prescribed by a licenced health care professional, I wouldn't mention it on the medical questionaire.

Can the student hear the spoken voice at 3 feet, per Part 67?

I think he should be OK. In addition, (I think) deaf pilots can fly in/out of uncontrolled fields.
I have ran into guys at UPS and DHL who had hearing aids.
