If you click on your link and mouse over the diagram outside of the hearing loss lines, it shows you what the different ranges are. Based on this, I think yours would be classified as moderate to severe from 750 hz on up.
Side note: Not an audiologist here but I have worn a hearing aid for 42 of my 45 years.

But I know others (e.g. Italians) use wildly different criteria.

My loss is moderate to severe and I hear as well with my Sony aids as I do with my well tuned Phonak Lumity. I’m wearing them now. YMMV
