First things first why are you catching a cold, it'll give you a freeze burn.. jokes aside. When you have a cold, chances are there is fluid in the cochlea of the ear and the sinuses which would dampen the auditory response. This in my assumption leads to you wanting to crank up the volume because things sound mute or low compared to when you dont have a cold.

It is absolutely possible, that your hearing is influenced by a cold. I hope Google translator made a good job: check out Tubular catarrh for instance.

BTW. : get well soon ;o)

Yeah i mean, im pretty sure is the cold, i drop some white mucus in the toilet paper and was kind of a lot, if i remember correctly the white colour means the cold is under control and should get away quickly

besides alterations of perception and inflammatory responses, your sinuses are clogged
