Hi thanks for asking question.

You could have sinusitis like infection that can lead headache but usually it doesn't lead hear loss.For it sinus x ray can done.

Rinne and weber test with fork done to differentiate between conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.

You have to do your otoscopy examination.
If impacted wax is present then also it can lead conductive hear loss.
Tympanic membrane inflammation or retraction might be present that is diagnosed by otoscopy.

If sensorineural hearing loss present then inner ear problem has to be searched.

Take care.
