3. 9 yrs is kind of young to be losing his hearing, imo

I'd look for that around 16 or older. Does he have clear, young eyes, or are they starting to get that cloudy look that elderly cats get? If so then I'd say he's much older than 9. If not, then the hearing loss is unusual.

Best of luck to you and your kitty!
