I doubt hair or wax is plugging her ears. A little rubbing and scratching after a grooming session is normal. My boys rubs their faces like crazy after a bath, and sometimes they will scratch at their ear flaps after I have shaved them. They have really long hair.
An ear infection would produce either an odor, redness, or yucky discharge and she would be scratching continuously.
This sounds more like a behavior thing. When you call her to you, is it always for something not so fun? If I called my boys to me only when I wanted to groom them, for instance, they would stop coming to me. I mix it up with calling them to me simply for a reward.
If you do think it is a hearing problem, take her to the vet and discuss your concerns.
