I am a 23 year old male and my jaw and right ear have been hurting. can that affect my brain too?

Unlikely: Many things could be causing your problems. One scenario that could affect your brain would be an infection of your sinuses behind your ear, which could possibly lead to meningitis or a brain abscess, both of which affect the brain.
