HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern let me tell you something the cold episode actually causes some inflammatory process to the inner ear along with the block of Eustachian tube and these could cause sort of discomfort in hearing and not the actual hearing loss and this would come around soon, with general care like drinking more water steam inhalation and of course breathing exercise, take care and have a nice day.
