When someone says something that hits on a touchy subject or reminds you of a weakness you have, then your “ears hurt.”

Literally, “ears hurt.” The “hurt” in your ears comes from hearing something you don’t want to hear.

彼(かれ)の忠告(ちゅうこく)を聞(き)くのは、耳(みみ)が痛(いた)い。

Hearing his advice really hit a nerve.
