When making custom molded ear plugs and they put the silicone foam in which hardens, can some get stuck inside and lead to muffled/ringing feeling?

See details: Anything is possible. The easiest way to know is to have a doctor examine the inside of your ear and remove any foreign body if one is present.

Unlikely: It would be unlikely but anything is possible. If have experienced worsening in your hearing after the procedure, ask the audiologist to take a look at your ears and this should cost you nothing.
