Is that correct?
Thank you.

No, "disability" would make sense.

"Disability" works for the second "ability", but the first must also be changed. "Perdro's ability to hear" is not the problem, it is his "inability to hear".

Hello,

I'd like to ask to our teachers if "which" here is used correctly? Shouldn't it be "that"? Even if "which" is correct, which I don't think so, it should be preceded by a comma, shouldn't it?

"Which" is fine.

I had a hearing impairment which was eventually solved with the use of a hearing aid.
