What Causes Finger Numbness?

My fingers go numb in order. My index finger gets numb on my finger tip, and then works its way down my finger. And the my middle finger does the same thing, and it just continues until it reaches my pinky and the part of my hand underneath my pinky goes numb. I have a slight headache and my ear is slightly sore. I don't know if there's any relation but I'm just curious why my hand is doing this. It's only happened once before. I'm 21.
