Middle ear problem: The details are limited. However, a common scenario with a cold would be that there is swelling of the eustachian tube, which drains from the middle ear into the throat. A consequence can be that your ear feels congested, full, and your hearing is muffled or decreased. This would be the most likely scenario. However, you should see an ENT physician to evaluate.

Hearing loss or ring: ing in ears. If you have a head cold you can get pressure in your head that can lead to muffled hearing or ringing in the ears. see your doctor if it doesn't resolve
