My dear, you need to visit the Otolaryngologist, to find out the reason of the lump behind the ear drum, the lump could be a vague jugular bulb or even small cholesteatoma (skin at wrong place) which need to be investigated thoroughly and managed accordingly. Worsening of hearing could be simply because the lump is hampering transmission of sound from drum to inner ear
