Cold viruses infect the cells of the walls of cappilaries supplying the
hair cells in the organ of corti of the left cochlea. The viruses do
not kill those cells but transform them into a cancerous state.
Symptoms are:

1. Sudden and complete deafness in the left ear; perception of an
CRT-like high-pitched sine-wave tone in the left ear

2. Sudden, intense aching at the site of cyanosis

3. Fever of 109 F at the site of infection

Flu virus infect the hair cells of the organ of corti of the left
cochlea. Flu virus does not kill those cells but transforms them into a
cancerous state. Symptoms are similar to the "cochlear cold" except
that the deafness is more immediate.

CORRECTION. That should be "Sudden, intense aching at the site of
*infection*"
