HI.
All the slap injuries to the ear drum normally heal on its own and do not cause any hearing loss at all. The tear normally heals within 2 to 3 weeks. The idea is not to do anything active.
IF You have Hearing Loss, this indicated a problem in the Middle or Inner ear.
There can be a disruptions of the smallest of the bones behind the ear drum.
Get this checked by an ENT surgeon for examination, Audiometry and further management
