Warning signs that should prompt you to go see an ENT doc ASAP after such an event:  Severe vertigo and deafness.  

Otherwise, you may have suffered some temporary (or potentially permanent) hearing loss and there is really nothing that can be done; time will often heal.  Ruptured ear drum, also a possibility, will generally heal without any intervention either.
