Brief Answer:
no such risk
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, I understand your anxiety related to the issue.
There is absolutely no such risk and your baby is completely safe because baby keeps changing position till 30-32 weeks of pregnancy.
Baby movements are very important and is a good sign that the amount of waters around the baby are in adequate amount.
Just relax and don't worry at all.
All the best.

lets assume that she gets a ear problem than in that case can we conclude that it might have originated from 24 th week around which the baby got inverted sice the ear part gets developed around this part.
Brief Answer:
no will not be related
Detailed Answer:
No dear, not at all.
Both will not be related as the liquor amnii (water) around the baby is a very good shock absorber and baby continuously changes position till 28 weeks and at times till 32 weeks in a normal pregnancy.
It is just a matter of fact that you noticed change in position around 24 weeks but position changes everyday and even several times a day during that period.
Moreover inner ear is well inside the skull (fetal brain matter) and not in the pinna visible outside so no issue of damage due to movement at all.
Don't worry about it at all.
All the best.
