It is very common after a cold to experience muffled hearing. Congestion can sit in behind the eardrum, and can take a good amount of time to clear.
Sometimes you can try steaming with a Vicks or Olbas in hot water (to be avoided if you are asthmatic). This can help to clear all the tubes within the ears and nose, helping to shift congestion. If this problem does persist, then it is advisable to seek advice from your GP as an onward referral maybe required.
As always if your hearing suddenly changes, and it is not due to wax, then you should present to a medical professional as this should be acted on as a matter of urgency
