in my opinion you may have hearing loss due to drugs azathioprine. was is sudden in onset? if possible change drug. I would recommend you to undergo proper hearing assessment And ear examination to find out exact cause. regarding chest infection, you need proper antibiotics course and expectorant with bronchodilator. you must visit to chest physician for that.
