The Dr. would most likely have been talking about middle ear infections in relation to age and vulnerability. The tendency for children to be more vulnerable reflects an age-related anatomical difference.
Outer ear infection, on the other hand, depends largely on what is introduced and allowed to remain in the outer ear.
