There is hair on a cats ear because they need hair to keep dust, dirt, bugs and so on, out of the ear. When a cat stops scratching, it means that the mites have been killed. if your cat is scratching its ear, I recommend taking it to your local vet. It only takes one mite to start the whole itching frenzy again, so I recommend NOT cutting them. if you do so, i would talk to a Vet tech. Hope I helped!

What happens to an ear when sound waves travel through it?
Sound travels into the ear where it goes into the ear drum which looks similar to a snail shell which has many many tiny hairs attached to it. When the sound waves hit the hairs, the hairs begin to vibrate according to the frequency of the sound waves. Certain hairs register certain frequencies and sends signals to the brain which registers those vibrations as sound.
Do cats ears need to be cleaned by vet?
For most species of cats, and in most cases, no; cat's ears have guard hairs to keep most foreign matter out, and are largely self-cleaning. In some cases, notably ear mite infestations, and conditions that cause an excess production of ear wax, cleaning may be needed, and a vet should handle that. Some breeds, such as the Cornish Rex, lack guard hairs and may need their ears cleaned occasionally; that should also be handled by a vet.
