Morphology
The meaning 'the partial or total inability to hear' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'hearing' (the capacity to perceive sound) with 'loss' (the state of being deprived of something), i.e. loss of hearing. This is a regular compositional pattern (loss of X) found across many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Hearing loss is a simple, literal image: hearing is the ability to hear and loss means losing something. So hearing loss describes when a person partly or completely cannot 'hear' sounds.
