A torn eardrum is highly unlikely, since that would have caused excessive pain and usually bleeding. The hearing loss you are describing may be due to your cold/congestion. A healthy eustachian tube drains fluid fom the middle ear to the back of the throat. The eustachian tube often swells and closes during a cold; creating a temporary hearing loss. A visit...
