Eat phones: Ear phones cannot cause middle ear infections. Ear canal infections or irritation may occur with excessive use of ear buds.

Anatomical?: I wonder if you are an adult or a child as different age groups have different reasons. However, if you have frequent and/ or recurrent ear infection, middle ear, then your friendly ENT will be your best help.
