You really have to make sure that there are no bugs where your daughter sleeps. Besides making sure the room and bed are bug free, make sure the kids have a bath and change into clean PJs for sleeping. Ants can come in on clothes. No eating or sticky drinks in the bed area. I would reccomend that you get an ear sirynge. They will let you rinse the ant out with a soft stream of water. Next time you are at the docs, as him or her what they reccomend.

NO. There is no completely open passage from the external auditory apparatus that continues inside of the brain. There are several structures, all of which are required for hearing, in the way. There is no open canal that extends all the way into the structure of the brain.

It is very impossible because Cerumen, Tympanic Membrane and Cochlea will stop ants from going to the brain.

To put your worried mind to rest the answer is NO and please un-subscribe from whatever Sci Fi magazine you are currently subscribed to. It is not having the desired effect.
