Doubtful. : It's doubtful that the volume of a balloon popping would be loud enough to cause hearing damage.

Depends: If it was a loud pop very near to your head, there can be temporary changes in hearing (temporary threshold shift) in response. This is usually associated with a new 'ringing' in the ears (tinnitus). If the hearing isn't back to normal within 2-3 days, see the care of an Otolaryngologist with expertise in ears- an Otologist. Take care & protect your hearing from noise.
