My grandpa has been having this hearing loss for like 10 years it was not concerning at earlier but recently it has become more severe i.e. He can't even hear properly what's somebody is saying in next room. He always said that his hearing loss is due to infection from cold or something like that.

Head colds and congestion can cause fluid to build up in your sinuses and ears making hearing more difficult during the illness. The most common type of hearing loss during a cold or the flu is a conductive hearing loss. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and medication plan.
