Hearing Loss in One Ear

Question

Asked for Female, 26 Years

My friend was hit on right side of her forehead when she was 13-14 years old. The injury didn't seem to be big; she recovered within a week after getting few stitches. Briefly afterwards, she realized that her hearing from the right ear was affected. She overlooked this problem and has been living with this hearing loss in left ear since then. Now she is 26 years old. I insist to visit a doctor and attend to this situation. Please advise what should be our course of action?
