Hello. The hearing loss that you have is significant hearing loss. There are 2 types of hearing loss one is due to the ear drum and hearing bones and other due to hearing organ and nerve. You need to post the pic of the hearing test for one to know the type of hearing loss. If the problem is due to ear drum or hearing bones then it can be corrected surgically . If the problem is due to the nerve then it can't be corrected surgically but you need to take precautions like avoiding medication that can harm the ear and loud sound exposure.
