Brief Answer:
Pure tone audiometry test is required.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir

I can certainly understand your concern.

The cause of hearing loss in your case should be carefully defined.

It probably seem to be sensorineural hearing loss (resulting from nerve damage)

For this, I advise you to go for a test called PTA (pure tone audiometry) and tympanometry.

This test will clearly reflect the type of hearing loss.

Further management if any is largely based on test results.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
