Answers:

The usual culprit for middle ear infections (proper name) is streptococus (strept for short), as pus accumulates it obscures (clouds) the eardrum (timpanic membrane) it will clear with time after the antibiotic treatment.
your hearing tends to decrease because your eardrum can not vibrate hence it is "muffled" it will most likely improve when the infection clears
