Could listening to my MP3 player all day for a long weekend give me hearing loss?

This has to be the nerdiest case of potential hearing loss ever, but: I got a new MP3 player and spent the entire MLK weekend listening to audiobooks. Maybe eight hours a day or more. Typically the volume was less than half way to maximum. However, today my ears feel like they are full of water and speech sounds muffled. Could I really have damaged my hearing in such a short time?

I was using a Palm Pixi and generic earbuds if that helps.

A few months back I got hit on the side of head near the ear with a palm to head. After a surge of pain ( naturally) I had partial loss of hearing. ( in one ear then both)

The problem has since resolved itself, but was this serious and what caused the hearing loss in the first place?

With thanks..
