Hello,
In case of a cold, you can have a temporary loss of hearing due to inflammation of the ear.
I would recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day.
If the symptoms continue you should see an ENT specialist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
