Ear Infections are extremely common in Newfoundlands. It is good policy to keep the hair trimmed around the ears in order that air may circulate freely. Regular checks should be made to avoid serious infections.
EarEar Mites are very common and are often associated with foot chewing! Dogs scratch their inflamed ears & pass on the mite to their feet. It is worth while when treating ears to treat feet as well!.
The life-cycle is about 3 weeks so keep treating for that time or else it is worthless time spent.
Vets will supply you with products suitable for this & remind them to give you something for the feet as well!
