Maybe it is related to electrical impulses in the body. Your body might respond to the tickling by sending electrical messages to the brain. Maybe it passes by your ear and that is the tickling you are feeling.

I'm not sure, I was just sad enough to try it too and it didn't work for me, BUT it could be an impulse jumping between the neurons that connect your hand to your brain and the neurons connecting your ear to your brain. For example, you know when you look at a bright light sometimes it makes you sneeze? That's because the neuron pathways connecting the brain to the eyes and nose are very close and sometimes, if the impulse is strong enough, a bit of the electrical impulse jumps, stimulating your nose as well as eyes. There you go, learn something new every day lol.

Because you're holding your hand up to your ear, so you're actually tickling both.

Probably for the same reason that when I stick my finger in my belly button I get electric shocks in my bell end.

For you, this is an acupressure point that just happens to respond to your ear.
