Why does my ear hurt after i listen to music at night with earbuds and what to do?

Pressure and volume: The ear pieces that hold the earbuds in your ears are gently pressing on the sensitive ear canal tissue while you listen to music. this pressure can cause pain when the earbuds are used for long periods of time- try swapping out the harder plastic section for padded or foam inserts. Also, avoid listening to music at a loud volume, as this can cause ringing in your ear and a different kind of pain.
