A ball hit my ear, hard. Should I get this checked out
I was playing soccer and I wasn't paying attention. Someone kicked the ball and hit my ear pretty hard. Now, there's no bleeding, but I almost heard like a ringing noise on impact. Should I get this checked out?

Yes.
Yes, you should definitely get this checked out. It could be a temporary threshold shift which you are experiencing, but it could represent something more serious such as trauma to your eardrum or cochlea (organ of hearing).
Yes, you should get checked by an ENT doctor and have an audiology check-up for hearing.
Yes, the sooner the better you will need a hearing test
If no bleeding, discharge, hearing loss, or dizziness, probably ok
