A cold can cause temporary hearing loss due to congestion and inflammation in the nasal passages and Eustachian tubes, which connect the throat to the ears. This blockage can trap fluid in the middle ear, leading to muffled hearing or a sensation of fullness. Additionally, swelling in the throat and nasal areas can further impair sound transmission. Once the cold resolves and congestion clears, your hearing should return to normal.
