I agree with the above recommendation...
When I wanted to start my career I did exactly the same with my problem (quite frankly every GP told me that I would never be able to fly) - I sat down with an AME and explained the situation; he sent me to a specialist and it came back good...only then we started the official certification process and I passed...started in GA and many years later I am flying a wide body...in your case you might pass the CASA hearing test without any problems anyway...only an AME would know.
One thing I also learnt is that particularly GPs don't know !!!! about anything more complicated than cough and flu - hence there are specialists.
Also please keep in mind that the AME only gathers information and passes it on to CASA for the certification, also CASA don't have a lot of specialists in their office either - they normally just rely on external info as well...and one more last advice - don't lie on the form but don't volunteer too much information either if you know what I mean.
Good luck...PM if you got more questions...
