Please get his ear checked by an ENT to know what is causing the problem. It could be wax, infection of due to a cold. Needs to be checked physically.

Was he having flu like symptoms prior to that like runny nose, sore throat etc. if so then it may be a eustachian tube dysfunction with developing acute otitis media. But there is remote chance of sudden sensorineural hearing loss which needs prompt treatment. U should get a detailed consultation at the earliest.
