It is possible that there is a wax build up or fluid in her ear that is causing the change in hearing. I suggest visiting an audiologist to look carefully at her ears and do some testing.
There are numerous reasons but if earwax has built up in the ear canal can cause it, middle ear issues such as ear infection, pressure build up or Eustachian tube dysfunction. Go to an ENT for an evaluation.
