He needs to be taken to the vet as soon as possible. Sudden hearing loss and a head tilt are consistant symptoms with a neurological problem and should not be ignored.

He has always been deaf, but just started (in the past week or so) tilting his head to the left.

Ok. Well in that case hopefully its as simple as an ear infection, but it certainly still may be more serious. Its bestto have him seen by a vet as soon as possible to determine the cause and treat it appropriately. ~D
