Likely had the ear infection already present when the ears plucked or a dog with ear mites played with your dog around the time of the plucking. Ears just don't infect on their own or grow bacteria, viruses from having hairs removed if they stay clean, free of wax, debris. Some underlying cause would be necessary to cause bacteria or viruses to mutate, grow into infection, perhaps such as excessive wax secretion.
What does your vet say about the repeated ear infections and what is he/she doing about it? Repeated ear infections usually suggest some type of underlying condition that needs to be diagnosed, treated if you truly are keeping water, debris, wax and bad 'bugs'(bacteria, viruses, mites, etc.) sufficiently cleaned from and free of the ears at all times.
Likely your dog is experiencing severe pain with each ear infection just as you did as a child(most kids scream out from the severe pain) when you had one so I hope you and a good vet can work together to find out what keeps causing such a painful condition for that baby of yours. Sounds like you need to seek the good counsel of a specialist right now to help your poor sweetheart.
