After ruptured ear drum, is it normal to lose hearing?

Yes: Hearing should improve as the tympanic membrane heals and infection resolves.

Till the drum heals: It would not be uncommon to have hearing loss until the ear drum heals. If you have a ruptured ear drum, see your doctor so he can ensure proper healing.
