Ear infection: This will likely require antibiotics see your doctor.

Pus is still there: He likely had a bad ear infection that led to the rupture of his ear drum. This is allowing a partial egress of the pus from behind his ear drum, just enough to relieve the pressure. He can't hear still as there is still pus in the middle ear. He needs to get antibiotics.
