That is mild hearing loss. But at an early age that is alarming. You need to take care of your ears. Avoid loud noise, listening music with earphones/headphones. Make sure you don't get frequent cold and cough. If you get any, get it treated immediately. Don't clean your ears by yourself. If you are exposed to noise at workplace wear earplugs.
Next Steps
Repeat audiometry every year to monitor hearing status.
