Pluck vs. no pluck: Some say the hair catches debris thereby causing ear infections, others say the hair protects the ear canal by stopping debris from entering.

I have been taking a middle of the road approach pulling out some of the hair with my fingers, but I have never completely de-haired the ears. Also, I use a flea comb to remove any wax or debris from the ear hair.
What do ear mites look like, and if he does have them do I need to go to the vet for this, or is this something that I can take care of?
