My 3 year old daughter has an ear infection but no fever. Could it cause hearing problem if left untreated?

On Sunday, my three year old daughter was complaining of a ear pain (no fever). So we took her to the doctor and she was diagnosed with ear infection. The doctor prescribed antibiotic but said we could hold off on the antibiotic if she wasn’t complaining the next day. She does not have any fever and has been her usual playful self. Is it possible for a child to not have fever or complain about ear pain even with an infection? Should I be worried? Can it cause hearing problems in future?
