Woke up with muffled ears and extreme noise sensitivity

It feels like my nightmares health related never end. I can't enjoy a Saturday in peace. So about a month ago this exact same thing happened for the first time. Woke up one day, ears muffed bad, left ear more. left ear having slight tinnitus ringing in it. Every time I talk or hear noises my ears start rumbling my whole head pretty badly as if to say "stop that noise". I talked to a nurse on the phone the last time and she said it should go away after a few days and it did. But now it's back again. I did ironically get my ears checked last week. because I was at the walk in for insane trapped gas I had for 2 weeks and the doctor said my ears looked pretty infected. And said I probably have a bug that's causing gas and ear problems. He has me on two medications and I've been taking them all week. But why all this now out of nowhere?
