If it's the smell I'm familiar with, nothing is wrong. Unfortunately you're smelling dead flesh. It happens as your ears actively try to close the holes and dispel the foreign object (the earring) from your body, while the earring is trying to keep it open. It's normal, and won't go away entirely, just will have ebbs and flows of the strength of smell.

I don't notice it now unless I mess with or twirl my earrings a lot in one day.

I wouldn't describe the smell as "off cheese" like you did though, so maybe it's different than what you're experiencing.

Clean your jewellery as well.

You could have an infection

Clean them daily maybe. When showering scrub behind ears.
