Ear scratching and whining

Again, my 5-month-old male Schnauzer. Almost from the day we brought him home, he has scratched at his ears and shook his head. He doesn't do this constantly, but enough that I know it much really bother him. I learned that you had to pull the hair out of his ears when he is groomed (which I do), but this did not help. He continued with the scratching and shaking of his head. I took him to the vet and he pulled yet a lot more hair from his ears and went deep pulling the hair out (which he told me not to do that deeply). This seemed to help for a couple of weeks and now he is starting again to shake his head and scratch his ears. He is an inside dog and the only time he is outside is when I am with him. What would be suggestions on something I can buy to help his ears?
