Default To Pluck or not to Pluck

Gurrrr....

I just got back from a $220 visit to the Vet, because my two guys were scratching their ears and flopping their heads back and forth with quite a bit of regularity.

The Vet checked for Mites, Bacteria and any Fungal Infection, gave them both a Steroid Injection and was only able to tell me that their ears looked "irritated".

Additionally, I just (a couple days ago) took them to the Groomer, where their Ears were "plucked".

I wonder....
Just how necessary is this Plucking ? Wouldn't that depend on how dense the hair was in their Ears (sort of an elective procedure) ? If I keep their ears pretty clean anyway, is it really necessary ?

Do you do this to your guys ?
