Hello,
* As per my clinical experience, sharp pain at the back of head and ear may be in concern with possible cervical spondylosis or else.
* In my clinic, I do recommend a thorough neurologic examination, otoscopy of left ear, hearing tests and other supportive data fact for the evaluation of the root cause accordingly.
* Certain selected cases may require an MRI brain or other investigations over a period of time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
