Though complaints you have written is not very clear I think he may be suffering from otitis media with effusion in the ear which is common condition causing decreased hearing in children. Fever may not be related to the ear infection and may be due to other causes.
Next Steps
Consult nearby child specialist for confirmation of cause for fever and appropriate treatment if required
