Hearing loss ought not to be an issue. They'll get a baseline, just so they can't get stuck paying for pre-existing noise induced hearing loss. But that's sort of standard in most industries with high noise exposures. As long as you have adequate hearing to use a headset they'll take you, they just don't want to have to pay for any noise induced hearing loss you already have. Don't worry. You will pass.
I'm assuming you actually aren't all THAT radioactive, of course.
