No updated new evidence to prove it.

I was born deaf in both ears and have around 60% hearing loss which has gone worse over the pass few years. My doctor doesn't have anything about my hearing on record even though they have been told, as all my records are at the hospital where I've been going since 1977. Everytime I go there, I don't get anything to say what I've had done as it's all done on computer now. For some unknown reason, my pass medicals have contacted the doctor only and not the hospital even though I've stressed hard enough that it is the audiology who have the 'proof', and not the doctors surgery, due to this, the decision maker cancels my claim and then the appeals start. I feel sick with worry that with deafness being a hidden disability, and no doubt they have contacted my doctor rather than the hospital, I feel my claim is already cancelled before I've even walked through their doors as pass assessors really don't have a single clue about deafness and some can be arrogant when I'm trying to explain what it is like. I've given loads of 'proof' in the past but that have fallen on 'deaf ears'! Any help please. Thank you.
