Ear-Nose and Throat Doctor (ENT) Questions head pain

I am having a sharp pain radiating from my ears to the back of my head. What could be the reason?

Since yesterday I am experiencing a sharp pain radiating from my ears to the back of my head and it settles on its own. It only lasts for a few seconds at a time. Is there a reason for this?

Sharp lancinating pains you describe may be a form of a pinched nerve in the cervical region.
Cervical spine pain
Probable posterior auricular nerve neuralgia.
