Blocked ear: Have it looked at as you may have an ear wax impaction. You can try using an ear wax removal kit at home. Follow the instructions carefully. Don't flush the year with cold or very hot water as you may induce vertigo and vomiting due to the creation of convection currents in the semicircular canals. Don't use a Q tip or paper clip to try to fix the problem as you may worsen the situation.

Vestibular Migraine: Migraine can cause vertigo, ringing in the ears and muffled hearing. It's likely that if a person is having a bad migraine attack, and notices that hearing is reduced, he or she may be having Otic migraine. If this is so , would expect it to resolve as the headache resolves, in most cases. If hearing loss is only in one ear and persists beyond the headache it may just be wax blocking the ear.
