As humans age, the magnetic material upon which our memories are encoded becomes fragmented and slowly sloughs off with the most recent layers of magnetic material (an organic magnesium based compound) coming off first. This is why older people tend to be forgetful and tend to forget the most recent memories first (this is why they tend to focus on the good old days when reminiscing).
These magnetic sloughings are slowly carried out of the brain case and into the inner ear canal via the process of ciliacal motility. If left unchecked, these microscopic metal filings can build up and create ulcerous irritations in the lower ear canal.
The particular proportions of magnetophilic metals in common keys attract these particles and alleviate the symptoms of irritation caused by excessive build up.

Because the momment their ear itches, is the exact momment they are stuffering a brain lasp.. So they stick their key in their ears to see if they can 't get their brain started again.
This has to be it, because if they knew just exactly how bad it was to stick your key in your ear, they would not do it. Keys are filthy dirty, and have no business in your ear. YIKES!

Too lazy to go get Q-tips. Or they don't care if they injure the insides of their ears.

Because they feel like since they are old they can do whatever they want to! This includes scary driving and butting in line at the store! =p

They're trying to start themselves up. It's a fairly common practice of old Stones listeners.
