Middle ear and outer ear infections are common causes of sharp ear pain. An infection of the inner ear, formally called labyrinthitus, may cause sharp pain as well as a loss of balance. People with a bad cold or the flu often experience sharp ear pain.
Neuralgia, pain caused by irritation of the nerves in the ear. Pain from a sore throat or a problem with the jaw joints called temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ) may be felt in the ear. When too much wax blocks the ear, you may feel pressure, but this usually doesn't cause pain.
