When do ears tingle?

1 Samuel 3:11 (ESV)

11 Then the LORD said to Samuel, “Behold, I am about to do a thing in Israel at which the two ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.

Ears tingle when people receive news of approaching punishment (2 Kings 21:12; Jeremiah 19:3). The destruction of Eli’s house will be such an event.1
