Hearing test: Request a hearing test from an Audiologist and this may lead to a diagnosis. Watch for fever, signs of infection such as drainage from the ears.

Hearing loss: I would certainly would not put neuroma or malignancy high of the differential diagnosis list for mild hearing loss on audiogram & the sound you hear in your right ear. A lot of information can be obtained from examination of the ear - such as - is there fluid behind the tympanic membrane that could be causing symptoms. I would start with your PCM.
