Employee's deafness

I have an employee in a sales role - who had a hearing problem when he started with me but now this seems to have got worse. I think it is affecting his ability to perform his job - am I within my rights to raise it as an issue and insist that he uses a hearing aid or similar device to enhance his failing hearing?
