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.
If you have any of the symptoms of a ruptured eardrum, the doctor will do an otoscopic exam. An otoscope is an instrument with a light that's used to look inside the ear. In most cases, if there is a hole or tear in the eardrum, the doctor will be able to see it.ometimes the sound is loud enough for other people to hear. Other symptoms of a ruptured eardrum include: 1  Sudden sharp ear pain or a sudden decrease in ear pain. 2  Drainage from the ear that may be bloody, clear, or resemble pus. 3  Ear noise or buzzing. 4  Hearing loss that may be partial or complete in the affected ear.
