Ear is connected to nasal cavity by Eustachian tube and is considered as part of ENT, it could has ascending infection and impact to ears if have flu or cold, we try to keep this tube open using decongestants.
If it’s really cold and skin is not protected you can get frostbite even in the earlobes...but changes in temperature shouldn’t affect hearing...if you have a hearing problem follow up with your pcp for prompt evaluation
