You betcha. Pretty much everything up there can effect pretty much everything else. A sinus infection can bring out or enhance toothaches or ear pain. An earache can make your jaw feel sore. And grinding your teeth can REALLY cause your ear to hurt.
Talk to your dentist. They have little devices you can have in your mouth to help with the teeth grinding.

Yes. Teeth grinding can lead to ear pain. Because your jaw and ears are on the same "circuit" pain in your teeth and jaws can be felt as a headache or pain the ear canals. This is the same as if you have an upper respiratory infection with a stuffy nose and clogged ears, you may notice your teeth are sore. This is due to the pressure. Check out the website below on teeth grinding to find out more about other symptoms you may be experiencing.

You might be grinding your teeth at night or clenching your jaw. Get to the dentist. Don't wait. I'm a grinder, and before I started wearing a mouth guard at night, I would get the same pain you described, as well as headaches and the neck pain. I also ground about a quarter inch down on my teeth. It's very damaging, and nothing to be taken lightly.

It sure can.
The teeth and the ears use the same nerve endings. If you chip a tooth or have a deep cavity, it can be interpreted as ear pain.

And sufficient grinding can cause misalignment of the jaw causing headaches and other ailments.

yes, it is called TMJ and the nerves in that area of the jaw can aggrivate the nerves that lead up to the ear.
good luck.
