Hello,
The given report is quite normal and nothing abnormal to worry about it. The inner ear structures are unremarkable which means they are perfectly normal.
Other causes like sensory neural hearing loss must be evaluated. Consult an ENT specialist and plan for an audiometric evaluation. Prolonged exposure to noisy environment might cause hearing problems in the long run.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
