Expected: The Eustachian tube on that side, the tube that connects the middle ear with the throat, might have malfunctioned too due to the acoustic trauma, causing such symptoms, it would normalize again, however, for reassurance you want to see your doctor for initial assessment and possible referral to an ENT specialist, a hearing test may be needed just for followup, good luck
