The landlady looked at least 90 years old.She was so deaf that Kaan had to shout to make her hear him. (who/himself)
This is a rewrite question and I doubt about my answer.
The landlady who looked at least 90 years old was so deaf that Kaan had to shout to make himself to be heard. Is this answer correct or not?
Thanks in advance for your kind help.

I would omit to be. I would write to make himself heard instead.

Either:The landlady who looked at least 90 years old was so deaf that Kaan had to shout to make himself to be heard
or:
The landlady who looked at least 90 years old was so deaf that Kaan had to shout to make himself  heard

is correct

The grammar phenomenon is called complex object
