Viral infection : Inasmuch as you had a cold (viral infection), the most likely cause of the hearing loss is what is now called sudden sensorineural hearing loss. This is a sudden loss of hearing (usually in one ear) that occurs over a period of 24-72 hours. The treatment is either oral steroids or injection of steroids into middle ear. You are lucky that the hearing returned.

Get it checked: The most likely scenario given what you have described is fluid in the space behind your eardrum. This is called a middle ear effusion and will frequently occur after a cold, affect the hearing, and also affect the balance. See your doctor.
