Brief Answer:
He needs MRI brain and auditory nerves

Detailed Answer:
Hi....by what you quote I think your son has got bilateral hearing loss.

He needs MRI brain and auditory nerves. This will find out treatable causes like nerve compression.

More importantly he might need hearing aids and based on his language development, he might require speech therapy too.

I suggest you seek the help of an ENT surgeon who has experience in dealing with pediatric cases.
