But it wasn't any good idea, because rubbing dry ear canals with those new plugs multiple times a day wasn't very pleasing. And hearing loss in the right ear was caused probably when I had pushed the earplug way too hard and it had had a contact with the ear drum. Luckily, the drum wasn't ruptured.

Nothing permanently wrong and ears should be fine in a few days. Right ear feels already better than yesterday.
Glad to hear... but eek! I will take your experience on board and be careful when plugging my ears, so thanks for sharing.
