It could range from nothing to ear mites. She could have water in her ear, cheat grass/foxtail, a wax build up, an infection, etc, etc, etc. She'll need a veterinary diagnosis to determine what needs done. The good thing is that the exam will only cost $25-75 dollars depending on where you live (the more population, the higher the cost is for the most part).

What's a GSD? German shepard? She may have ear mites which can't be seen until the infestation is pretty bad. Try cleaning her ears or take her to a vet.

There could be something deeper inside where you can't see. Sometimes old cats get benign growths deep in their ears. Or it could be a foreign body.
It's obviously bothering her, and it might be something that will get worse without attention, so I think a trip to the vet is a good idea.
Old cats should be seen by a vet once or twice a year to head off problems while they are still treatable.

Probably ear mites. I have seen this happen before with my dogs. There is liquid medication you can buy to put in each ear to help kill them off and stop the inflammation.
But always have a vet check as well. Better to be safe than sorry.

She may be deaf. My old GSD/ Husky mix is going thru the same thing.
