In brief: Sometimes
People often confuse hearing loss with ear fullness/plugging.
Furthermore, otosclerosis can affect your inner ear sometimes producing a process called endolymphatic hydrops. This itself can produce the sensation of ear fullness.

Yes, that feeling of plugging, like having cotton in the ear, is a common symptom of patients with hearing loss.
