I believe Asher has a hearing impairment and has just been granted her visa. PM her and I know she'll give you some good advice. You might have to make a few other posts first tho before you can access that facility.

I'm not totally deaf. I'm suffering from 30% to 40% hearing loss . I tried to search this forum but there were not many directly related pots

The hearing test is a bit... 'basic'!
The doc stands one side and then the other and whispers a number....
If you can pass that I wouldn't worry too much about it. If not then they'll probably want a letter from your doc confirming that you have hearing loss that isn't related to anything more serious. It would help if you had the letter to take with you to the medical.
