how should I proceed "medical"

Hi, it's probably not just myself that's having the same issue. 3 years when I joined, I had a very good hearing
and now I'm having trouble recognizing what the buddy is saying when he's facing me less than 3 feet away.

I didn't file any CF98 as I do not know where this problem originates from but its starting to bother me a lot.
There were few occasions where I temporally lost my hearing during traing for over 15 minutes but I'm not sure if they are the reasons.

In 2009 I go to be one of those "lucky" ones that got to blow up a claymore and I couldn't hear anything for half hour or so then
a live fire exercise I was one rifleman sandwiched between a Carl G and a C6 and I remember being switched to Assault -5mins to the Hour.
During the assault I didn't even know it started until casings from my buddies started flying at my face. I didn't even notice that I couldn't hear anything
and I got the hearing back when we were consolidating.

How should I proceed with this? Is this something to go to the chain of command or MIR?
I've been frequenting the monfort hospital recently for a fractured bone and the specialist told me he doesn't know how the admin part goes but i could make an appointment with a GD for check up

See an MO - they'll refer you to a specialist if it's necessary.  BTW - when was your last medical?

my last medical exam was enlistment 3 yrs ago

You're actually due a new medical then - recruit medicals are only good for 2 years now, so book a formal medical, they'll compare the last audiogram with the new one and if there's a threshold shift, they'll set you up with an audiologist +/- ENT.  Make sure when you do the questionnaire that you also note a hearing change you widh to talk to the MO/PA about.

Update-
I spoke to an MO today and he told me that the hearing problem is chronic and i should see a family doctor instead
because I am a Class A reservist.
Again there is no proof that It's due to loud noises from occupation
nor that I know where exactly the source of the hearing loss.
