What Causes Sudden Numbness In Ears With Hearing Loss?

This morning a friend of mine woke up unable to hear out of one of his ears with it being completely numb and cold. I am a nurse and checked the ear lobe for blood flow with a capillary refill test and it was normal. Throughout the day, he stated that the numbness began to run down the back and below his ear and is now going down to his shoulder and arms/hands.
