Cleaning ears can create some trauma - this is not unusual at all based on how deep the wax is, quality of wax, or if a patient moves. This method will not create hearing loss.

Recommend you follow up with the specialist again to make sure the ear canal is fine, all wax is removed, and then obtain a hearing test.
