Long as there's not a ruptured eardrum the vinegar won't do any harm, as long as you cut it back adequately. It will improve the pH in the ear, at least for awhile.

The Nolvasan Otic, probably the most common ear wash, contains just alcohol. It does cut the waxy crud though.

An ENT doctor I am familiar with recommends a 50-50 mixture of vinegar and rubbing alcohol for human ear care. Maybe that would work for dogs too.
