Hole inside driver screen/mesh of my Fidelio X2's... Will this affect sound?

[Ravenous]

So today when routinely cleaning the headphone pads I noticed on my left headphone driver that there is a hole in the screen in front of the driver. It looks to be the size the tip of a 3.5 mm plug. Could this affect sound at all? My Fidelio X2's are from early 2015 so they are out of warrenty but should I attempt an exchange at whatever price they ask?

No it won't affect the sound.
 
And if it did wouldn't you hear it anyway

Wouldn't the screen be used to filter the sound? And if there is a hole in the screen than the sound will be imbalanced so to speak? I just get really paranoid about these things. I remember when I had a pair of Nuforce NE-700x earphones and one of the screens tore and the sound was a bit more louder/fatiging without the screen than with it.

Whatever the purpose of the screen, a 3mm hole isn't going to affect it.
 
Trust your ears rather than your paranoid eyes

Well I think I seem to notice that after a while of listening to my headphones for about 1-2 hours at a time, the left speaker would seem to sound muffled compared to the right. Then, I noticed in fact the left speaker sounded a little more sharper or louder, and this affect even changed the perceived "soundstage" a little. Sometimes it seems that there's a sort of "hollow" effect from the "front of the left speaker from of the front of the left driver anyways, the hollowness seems to be coming from the part of the screen where the hole is. I can definitely notice it when listening guitars playing notes specifially in the left channel and right channel at the same time, where the left side sounds less detailed. Anyone else experience this with their X2's or any other headphones?
