Everytime I get aerobic exercise and its cold out, i get unbearable ear pain. It feels like someone is sticking burning prongs in them. They feel like I'm on an airplane but 100 times worse. Has anyone ever had these symptoms? Or know what it is and what i can do?

Weirdly enough, breathing in cold air really fast while exercising can give you ear pain; it happened to me. Wrap a scarf around your mouth when you exercise outside, so the air you breath in and out is filtered through the scarf and warmed by your previous breathing. (Wear chapstick, though, because the condensation from your breath may chap your lips!)
Also, of course, remember to do warm-ups and cool-downs and stretches!

This sounds like pressure build up. Whenever the body engages in high aerobic exercises with lots of oxygen exchange there is a good chance for pressure to build up in the brain. I would relax before going outside. Do some cool downs allow for your heart rate to come down to its resting heart rate. Another good way of relieving pressure is to open your mouth as wide as you can hold it for about 3 seconds. Do this 10-15 times. You will feel the pressure relaxing in your head you also may feel your ears pop. That is normal
Good Luck

It might be just the cold weather and your breathing - WHICH I HOPE IT IS. But, you know, the pain you describe worries me. Go get your ears checked TODAY. If you can't get appointment today, then do as your other replies suggest about ear muffs and scarf.
Your ears are too important for everyday life, and too close to the brain to totally ignore such an abnormal amount of pain.
Good Luck and let us know the outcome please.

My son has the same issue. Try using silicone earplugs (available at pharmacy - used for noise and to keep water out of ears) and then a headband (much as you would for skiing)
If that doesn't work, try using a cotton ball coated with a bit of oil or petroleum jelly instead of the silicone earplug and then still cover with the headband.

exercise-induced asthma can shorten your breath. high blood pressure from exercise may affect your hearing and many other things too. stop exercising until you see a doctor about this.

yeah it happens to me too. i think its normal its just that all the blood and oxygen is going to other body parts that need it (liver, heart, ect). Try wearing ear muffs
