any regulation for hearing problem?

Hi all,

I have a problem in hearing high frequency sound waves. Just discovered that a year ago (I am 30 yrs). This probably happened when I have been exposed to bombs and fighting when I was teenager in Lebanon civil war. Doctors said no way to treat this situation.

I passed the PPL medical text but I know I wouldn’t pass the next tests if I want to go for instrument rating or commercial.

My question is: I know that it is allowed for pilots to use glasses for their eyes. Is their a regulation that enable them to use equivalent instruments to cover up hearing problems and qualify for flying?

Waiting for your help,
