Hello! there can be two reasons: 1. Tmj problem i.e. The joint between your jaws and head. May be there is some dysfunction of the joint thats why you are having pain while eating.
2. There can be pain in last teeth region i.e. 3rd molars which is referred to your ear region. My advice:
get yourself checked by a dentist nearby to rule out the possible cause after clinical evaluation of the condition then only further treatment can be planned.
