May be many reasons: Sudden hearing loss is very disconcerning to the patient and need immediate care by a specialist. It may something local (wax impaction, infection) or it could be a nerve weakness called sudden sensorineural hearing loss. You should immediately get a hearing test to determine the nature of hearing loss as there are some early treatments that have been shown to recover part or all of the hearing.
