Between your middle ear and your throat there is a passage called the eustachian (say: yoo-stay-she-un) tube. The eustachian tubes (you have one on each side) keep pressure from building up by letting air move in and out of your middle ear. When you were young, especially before you turned 3, the eustachian tubes were very small and less able to keep germs out.
The eustachian tubes get longer and usually work better in older kids, but they can still cause problems. If you have allergies or catch a cold, the eustachian tubes can get blocked up and let germs get in the middle ear. Then the number of germs can grow inside your middle ear and cause an infection.
You do not catch ear infections from other people, though you might catch a cold that then leads to an ear infection. If you have an ear infection, you might have ear pain, a fever, or trouble hearing. If you have any of these problems, tell your parent so he or she can take you to the doctor.
You might be talking about ear piercing infections, or just a regular ear infection, but I will try to answer both.
For ear piercing: MOST PEOPLE DON'T CLEAN THEIR HANDS BEFORE TOUCHING OR DOING ANYTHING WITH THEIR EARRINGS. That's how most people's earring holes get infected, so always wash your hands before doing anything with your earrings! Also, some people might have sensitive ears, and you get the wrong type of earrings when you get your ears pierced. (That's what happened to me). Or, when you are allowed to take your earrings out, some people will like keep only the cheap earrings in, which is not the best idea if you have sensitive ears because those are not hypoallergenic earrings.
General Ear infections: to much ear wax in your ears without cleaning it out can cause an ear infection, but that's the only reason I really know of...sorry!
Ear, Nose and Throat have a very close relation. Moreover, they are interconnected either directly or indirectly. So, infection of any one of these may lead to the infection of others.

How long does it take for water in the ear to cause an infection?
Getting water in your ear is a hazard of activities such as swimming under water. Sometimes the water will travel deep into your ear canal and be unable to escape. This creates an irritating sloshing sound, and can ultimately result in an ear infection if the water is not removed. Getting water out of your ear is therefore very important, and relatively easy to do.
Instructions:
How to Drain Water from the Ear:
1: Mix equal parts of rubbing alcohol and white vinegar in a small cup or bowl. This mixture will kill bacteria and dry out your ear.
2: Tilt your head to one side with the affected ear toward the ceiling.
3: Squeeze 4 to 6 drops of the mixture into the affected ear using a medicine dropper.
4: Keep your head tilted for 20 seconds to let the mixture travel down your ear canal.
5: Drain your ear. Tilt your head to the other side so your affected ear now faces downwards. Use a hand towel to catch any liquid that seeps out.
There are kits available in many drug-stores over the counter that can help you with this task. If you purchase one, follow the instructions that come with the kit.
If you have further trouble, schedule a visit with your primary care provider. You may need antibiotics if you have an ear infection, and/or an ear lavage performed by a nurse. Good luck!

In some cases, ear infections can be treated at home with over-the-counter medications and natural remedies, but it is important to consult a healthcare professional to determine the cause of the infection and the appropriate course of treatment.
Here are some things that you can try at home for ear infections:
Over-the-counter pain relievers: Such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with an ear infection.
Warm compresses: Placing a warm compress on the affected ear can help ease pain and reduce inflammation.
Ear drops: Over-the-counter ear drops, such as those containing acetic acid or hydrocortisone, can help relieve itching and inflammation.
Hydration: Drinking plenty of water can help keep the ears lubricated and flush out bacteria or other irritants.
Keep the ear dry: Avoid getting water in the ear when swimming or showering, and use earplugs or a shower cap to keep the ear dry.
It's important to note that while some ear infections may resolve on their own, others may require antibiotics or other medications and if symptoms persist, or if you experience severe pain, fever, or hearing loss, you should see a healthcare professional. Additionally, in some cases, an ear infection can be a symptom of a more serious condition, and it's important to get a proper diagnosis.

Can swimming give you an inner ear infection?
Yes, swimming can give you an inner ear infection. I used to have them while I was swimming. But I got a cure for that, and today my grandparents use them. You can buy them at an ear doctor. What they are are little squishy balls that go inside the ear, not to deep, and when he/she uses them in the water, it will help and also keep water from coming in. This was a big problem for me when I was younger. There are a variety of methods that swimmers' use to try and prevent ear infections from happening. Some of them buy ear drops, others use ear plugs, the courageous try home remedies, and worst of all... some do the unthinkable and give up swimming altogether. While these methods work for some, many divers dislike one or more of these options. The most common method is the use of ear drops. The only real problem with ear drops is that they not only kill the bacteria, they also eliminate just about everything that is good in a healthy ear. The earwax is there to protect the ear and it gets flushed out with the use of ear drops containing isopropyl alcohol. This isn't always the case, but in many cases the repeated use of ear drops leaves the ear canal vulnerable until the natural environment can replace itself back.
Can ear wax cause ear infections?
Ear wax is secreted by the ceruminous glands of the ears. It functions to protect the ears from outside contaminants. Diseases do not spread well through ear wax, but it may be possible to catch diseases transmitted through body fluids via ear wax.

Why are infants and children more prone to otitis media?
Because breast milk passes immunity to the baby. If the mother isn't immune to a specific virus strain or bacteria, the baby wont be either. If she is immuned or protected, the baby will also be. (Jesus knew what he was doing when he created the human body system).
Why children have more middle ear infection than adults?
There are several reasons why children are more likely than adults to get ear infections.
Eustachian tubes are smaller and more level in children than they are in adults. This makes it difficult for fluid to drain out of the ear, even under normal conditions. If the eustachian tubes are swollen or blocked with mucus due to a cold or other respiratory illness, fluid may not be able to drain.
A child's immune system isn't as effective as an adult's because it's still developing. This makes it harder for children to fight infections.
