The FAA is pretty liberal about hearing...there are many old airline captains out there.
I think that if you are allowed a 2nd. class with a hearing aid restriction, you could also hold a first. If you need a waiver for a 2nd., it might be a different story.
There are overseas jobs which might not require a medical, but the pay and operational safety standards would probably be subpar. I don't think you'll have to worry about that.
