Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
This could be a noise induced hearing loss.
I recommend a otoscopic examination of ear to rule out other causes of hearing loss like a simple ear wax.
Audiometry to evaluate type and grade of hearing loss.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.
Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.
