Sumio could absolutely get a hearing aid in Svelte! The level of technology readily available would make it happen without issue. Basically since this is a physical assistance change for the character, I don't have any problem with Sumio getting an aid however quickly you'd like to play it out as.
There is also the option to gain his hearing through a "new ability" type of reward redemption, but only if you wanted to go that route of it being a "power" he can control as opposed to a technological device.
