Of course you can! I burst my eardrum foolishly by sticking a rat tail comb in my ear and I didn't suffer any hearing loss. Maybe it wasn't as severe as I thought. It hurts a bit a few days later on, but I hear as clear as a bell!

Why you can hear sounds better in air then you can underwater?
Sound moves faster and further in water than air, so it would seem like it must have something to do with the receiver.

Underwater you don't hear using the eardrum, you hear by way of bone conduction which apparently doesn't let you hear normal sounds as well as the air/eardrum method.
