Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history and concerns regarding the reduced hearing on the left side more so only in the morning .
It is known that flu can cause lots of problems and particularly in the respiratory and ear systems.
This is basically due to the lots of edema that one gets after flu.

I would suggest you the following:
Get an opinion of the ENT again so that we can have the real picture.
Also go for preliminary Audiometry.
Take a course of an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antihistamine medicines.
Plain water steam inhalations.
Bed-rest.
All these things together will help you to get a cure.
