Suggest Treatment For Lung Congestion And Hearing Loss

I have seen a nurse practitioner for what I believe is bronchitis(wasn't actually told "bronchitis"). I was prescribed a 5 day antibiotic and an inhaler. It has been 2 weeks now and I'm still suffering lung congestion and am now having hearing loss. I am worried it has developed into pneumonia and am wondering if I should be worried about the hearing loss?

First of all I want to know which antibiotic n inhalers u used... n if the hearing loss is recent in onset u should 1st consult ENT specialist. 2nd thing about consolidation is that it only proves by radiology.so get done Chest X Ray to rule out consolidation thanks.
