Hi there.  This is Dr SATYA KIRAN ENT and Cochlear implant surgeon from Hyderabad. The hard of hearing has to be evaluated well in ur case as u say it's on high frequencies. Needs proper history along with few audiological investigations. Get ur thyroid tests done. After these, may require CT scan of temporal bones as per requirement if felt so by ENT (otologist) surgeon
