be careful using the hemostats. some groomers shove them way down into the ear, grab all the hair they can and then start twisting the hemostats in a circle to yank all the hair at once. this is extremely painful for the dog. dont do this.
Another way that I clean the ears is to get cotton from hair supply stores(it's on a roll, in a box). It makes it easier to get the wax that is built up deep down in the ear. I just push it down until it stops. Then repeat until the cotton that I pull out is clean. This helps a lot for pets that have ear problems:)
You pluck the ear hair because if you cut it it, it the ear gets extremely itchy and iritated.

Surely a dog has hairs in it's ears for a good reason?

Why would you want to pluck the hairs? I wouldn't want to hurt my dog like that.
