You can probably see why from previous photos...Yes I was silly and forgot to move my hair from over my ear. This immediately gave me a problem as I could not create a direct topology. However this did not stop me! I knew roughly where the outline of my ear was on the photo guide so started by marking around that. Once I had this line I create the rest of my ear topology primarily by touch. As weird as it sounds it still came out alright. It was definitely a slower process than just being able to look at my ear and draw, but most probably faster than taking another side profile view of myself, adjusting the distortion and finally trying to line up the angles.
The only problem I found with this process was that occasionally I had too few a lines to work with when extruding parts of my ear. This was simply combated by selecting edges in my ear and using the connect tool to split a single face into 2 or 3 faces. This gave me more points to work with and model correctly.
You can see in this image where I have used this technique:
This was the final outcome of my ear:
