The answer

Many scholars permit women to wipe only part of their head during ablution. Wiping the ears is a Sunnah according to the majority of scholars, and ablution is valid even if it is omitted. Your ablution is, therefore, valid without any doubt. It is advisable to ignore and disregard obsessive thoughts and not to repeat ablution or prayer because of them.
