Wow that is really hot.  Too hot for chinchillas.  You need to find a way to cool the temperature of the air around the ears.  If you can't get an air conditioner then build them an ice house.  Get a metal, tile, or terracotta container and freeze it.  Then put it in the cage.  Put ice around the container in the cage so it is cool inside.  Your chinchilla will get wet but at this point it is an emergency.
