Hearing “loss” age 27

Hello,

I’ve had trouble hearing in noisy areas for over ten years due to an audio accident as a teenager. I got a hearing test, and all frequencies up to 8000hz came back normal (10db and under). However I can’t hear above 15800 in my left ear. Nothing over 15000hz without bumping the volume. How concerned should I be? If my hearing is “normal” why do I struggle in noisy areas. I have very mild tinnitus (I only hear if it’s totally silent and it doesn’t bother me much. The tinnitus I think is around 16000hz)

Thanks. Probably nothing I can do.
