OTALGIA: Neck stiffness can be associated with ear infection. Why don't you check it out? Otherwise take analgesic or nsaids.

Ear infection?: I would see a primary care doctor and see if they can evaluate your ear. Ear infections can cause pain in the neck and head.

Many answers: Consult your dentist to see if you have a temporomandibular joint issue especially if you clench your jaw or grind your teeth at night. Yes the cervical spine may play a role but that would not involve the ears.
