Hi, symptoms of pressure behind head, tingling sensation and pain in the hand and shoulder are due to cervical spondylitis. But the contrasting symptom of ear pain, sensitivity to sound could be due to ear infection. Both cervical spondylitis and ear infection leading to inner ear damage can cause giddiness, lose of balance.
Next Steps
Tab. Vertin thrice daily for a week.
Wear the cervical collar.
Mild neck and shoulder exercises.
Daily sunlight exposure around 10 am for 15-30 mins.
Consume food rich in calcium.
Steam inhalation will relieve any congestion in the nose, throat which are common cause of ear pain.
