The progressive hearing loss means that, hearing loss becomes worse over time. Sudden hearing loss means, hearing loss that happens quickly. Such a hearing loss requires immediate medical attention to determine its cause and treatment. The Art of hearing is one of the audiologists in Perth, WA which provides free online hearing tests. So it is easy to undergo hearing tests.

Prompt treatment and attentive follow-up of middle ear infections in children will prevent this cause of conductive hearing loss.
Usually it isn't. When hearing loss becomes bothersome or problematic, then a hearing aid may be used. In children there can be temporary mild hearing loss due to ear infections (especially otitis media). After antibiotic treatment, normal hearing (or, at least, hearing that was normal for that person before the infection) will return.
No. Hearing loss depends on the decibel listened to and the period of time. Everyone is prone to having hearing loss.
No, chlamydia does not cause hearing loss.
Provided that your child's hearing loss is sensorineural and not conductive - and if it is profound it is certainly at least partially sensorineural - then no, there is no medical treatment or intervention that will correct his/her hearing loss. If your child is having a profound sensorineura hearing loss, please consider a cochlear implant to achieve the closest to normal hearing. My advice as a cochlear implant surgeon would be - dont delay, to avoid neural plasticity.
