Question 1

Why do my ears hurt when i bend over?

Accepted Answer

There are many structures at the side of the face besides the ears.  Bending over should not cause any ear pressure or pain. You may have referred pain from the jaw joint or possibly pain in the neck referred to the side of the face.  If an ENT doctor can document that the ear drum, middle ear, and ear canal are normal, you will then rule out the ear as a source of your pain.

Maybe eustachian tube dysfunction - not being able to clear ears ("pop" them open) when diving.  Divers need to clear your ears every 5-10 feet of diving to prevent ear pain and damage to ears.
