Hissing sound from one ear

Question

Asked for Male, 29 Years

I had cold last week. My ear is creating hissing sound. I would like to know the reason behind it. I have consulted a doctor and came to know that this is because of cold and infection in nose causing air block and hence the hissing sound is coming. At present am using medicine. I would like to know is there any issue in my body. I don't have any ear pain or ear ache. And my sound capabilities of both the ears are fine.
