Hello,

Hearing loss you are experiencing is most likely to be due to infection pr fluid accumulation in ear due to congestion. Please follow up with an ENT specialist to confirm the diagnosis and see if appropriate antibiotic need to be initiated. If fluis is only present, it can take few weeks to clear up completely. Meanwhile, use nasal decongestant drops and do steam inhalation daily to relieve congestion.

Hope this answers your query
