Basically, to simply it...your pinna (the part of your ear that is on the outside of your head), your outer, middle, and inner ear all have many little parts that serve different functions to modify the sounds that come into your ear before it makes it to your auditory canal and then to your brain... I have always wondered if piercings slightly altar the way the sound is modified acoustically... obviously you have slightly altered this intricate system, so I would assume there would have to be SOME SLIGHT change, no matter how insignificant. Anyway... I think everything should be ok, I would just give that ear a few more days, I would not imagine that any of your hearing loss would be permanent!
