There is no way deviated nasal septum can cause significant hearing loss severe enough to require surgery. Otosclerosis is one of the commonest causes for conductive hearing loss and is a definite possibility. If proved by audiogram and tympanometry you can consider surgery. For best outcome after surgery it should be done by very experienced surgeon
