When I first learned to groom, I was taught to pull ear hair a few at a time using fingers and ear powder. I still do it that way. It's slow but seems to be relatively painless for the dog.
Years ago, when I went to "audition" at a shop, another groomer there saw me doing the ears and told me I was doing it all wrong. She grabbed a pair of hemostats, locked them onto a bunch of ear hair, twirled a couple of times, then with a quick yank, removed all the hair in one shot.
I have never been able to bring myself to do it that way. Seems so brutal, but maybe I'm just a wuss?
