If you cannot meet these standards and have only partial hearing loss, you may be able to obtain a statement of demonstrated ability and still get a medical:

Answer 3

Just a quick little addition to the above response.  In order to be an airline pilot, you will need to have a 1st Class medical certificate, not a 3rd Class.  As you may know, the 1st Class is more stringent and harder to get than a 3rd Class.

Answer 4

Unless it is minor and you can pass the hearing test, then no. Sorry
