Not really, other than when you have the flu you may be more susceptible to bacterial infections (usually ear infections are caused by bacteria, not viruses like the Swine Flu). Any time there is any kind of infection of the respiratory system, the ears can get an accumulation of fluids that encourages a secondary ear infection.
