Thanks, I emailed my closest AME and she advised to contact them too and gave me all the details to speak to an aeromedical advisor.
To anyone in the same position as me,
Apparently it's possible to gain your class 1 medical with the ear infection, On the CAA website there is information on the scores you need on the hearing test so i'll be trying to get a hearing test at my hospital ASAP to see if it's worth persuing my dream!
