A member asked:

What does it mean when you wake up with your ears burning and hurting? does it have anything to do with a sinus infection?

Tough to answer: since there are many potential causes for ear pain. However, if both ears are involved and it occurs consistently only upon waking, I would guess that you may be grinding teeth at night and that this may be referred pain from the jaw. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/845173-overview
