According to the symptoms you report wherein you're hard of hearing, have a stuffy nose and history of a sore throat you could be experiencing inflammation of the Eustachian tubes, also called the catar tube auditive. Eustachian tube inflammation is a common complication of sore throat (nasopharyngitis) because the Eustachian tube is a communication channel between the middle ear and upper pharynx (nasopharynx). The function of the Eustachian tube is to equalize ear pressure between the middle ear and pharynx. When an infection from the throat spreads to the tube, communication between the middle ear and throat is interrupted. In other words, air becomes trapped in the middle ear. In time, the air is absorbed and serous liquid fills the middle ear. Fluid in the middle ear causes difficult hearing. You can consult an ENT-specialist for an appointment, diagnosis, and treatment alternatives.
