While I don't know what's causing your hammer's troubles, I can almost certainly say it's not too late. Corals can come back from some astonishing damages.

I call my hammer , the zombie coral, because it died 4 years ago and I left the bone structure in the tank.
Few months later the flesh start growing from the inside and now it is grown up hammer coral.
Even if the worse happens, let the structure in the tank...you may have a surprise.

I had a hammer that would do this whenever I changed something in the quarantine tank, it would completely recede to where you could only see the polyps barely sticking out the top. I moved it several times for flow or light and sometimes it would get happy again and open completely back up only to recede again weeks later. Eventually I lost it after adding some corals I had dipped but still have the skeleton so maybe it will grow back eventually.
Give it a dip in something like brightwell aquatics coral dip, I did this to mine around 6 months ago cuz it looked like yours, a few days later it was out and all puffed up and fast forward to today it went from one head to 10.
You can't hurt it by dipping it but it could help it out of its funk. Good luck
