Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of transient eustachian blockage. Due to sudden blockage , negative pressure will be created inside the ears which muffle the hearing. If you try to open the tubes by blowing the air with closed mouth, the symptoms should disappear. If the symptoms still persist, you should seen an ENT surgeon for hearing tests.
