Teacher Re: if If you put 'if' it would mean that the boy would lose his hearing as a result of the operation, I doubt that that is what is intended: I would suggest something else, what do you think?

Re: if Not a teacher,
I guess this sentence means:
Unless he gets an operation, the boy may lose his hearing forever.

But your assumption is true, anyway.
Thanks for your supports and replies.
