A member asked:

I had flu , now my ears block noise hole time, i have yellow sputum, will my ears get beter i can't here well?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ear infection.: The symptoms you are describing are consistent with a middle ear infection. The yellow sputum can be viral or bacterial. Hearing loss may be due to fluid in the middle ear. In short, see an ENT doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
