I would absolutely talk to the manager and I would probably write a letter of complaint. I agree with the previous poster that a customer should never feel uncomfortable in a store. Not to mention, the salesperson has no right to point out something like that.
Would he have said to someone, "That's a shame that you have cancer because the person was wearing a scarf on their head." What he said/did was completely inappropriate and needs to be brought to management attention. now thats an assumption- that someone wearing a scarf on their head has cancer??????
Its small talk- what is the difference if someone is wearing something you like and you ask them where they got it.

Yes the sales associate was assuming that she wanted to talk about hearing aids similar to the way someone would assume someone had cancer if they were wearing a scarf.
And small talk should be like, "Hi, how are you?" Not about something personal that people might not want to draw attention to. Sales associates should be a little more sensitive to others.

I wouldn't let one salesperson dissuade me from shopping in a store. I imagine turnover is pretty high.
If you feel strongly about it, then call the manager. I'm sure he was trying to bond with you over a mutual disability (albeit, rudely) thinking that you would give him the sale over the others.
I agree it was a sales tatic
when I was wedding dress shopping at a horrible place that will remain nameless- after the saleswomen blew the sale and knew it- she told me her Mom passed away also- trying to get me back
it didn't work- I don't think it ever does
