Hi,
Thyroid cancer can be possible with normal blood level of thyroid hormone. USG often suggestive in case of doubt surgery may be considered. Earache can have different etiology . At that region there are communication of nerve supplying to the ear canal. Both infective and malignant cause can have this symptom, It is non specific. Anyway consult your surgeon for better guidance.
