Having been in a similar pos as you, the best thing is to let the ear settle down, then go for a hearing test, poss, go for one a month to see how your hearing responds to the test and see if there is an improvement, once you feel that the tests are not improving then match these with what is required with your lic authority, then when you do your medical everything should go fine .The only thing that unless you have good medical cover you will have to pay for the tests.
If you have any more questions I will respond to them on this post.
I hope this helps
