For the most part I know of a product called 'flies off' that some pet stores in the area may carry that seems to help a lot in many but not all cases. If not that, they may carry something similar. The Advantix product for flea and tic control is also supposed to help with the control of flies eating them up but I don't know how well it works for that.
I found a variation recipe on the vinegar with some additions you might try. Mix 1 ounce of citronella oil with 1 cup of cider vinegar and 1 cup of boiling water. Add a basil a bay leaf. Once it cools off try applying it to the ears.
The most effective method is keeping them inside through most of the day. I'm sure the situation is frustrating for you since you can only do so much.
Are you sure about this "flies off"? I looked around, and the only product close to that name is Flys Off. It is used for horses. Is there a dog version somewhere or can this be used for dogs too? Nothing like that has been mentioned in the description of the product.
I agree that the most effective way to keep flies off your dog is to keep the dog indoor. Too bad there are even people out there will not let their dogs to ever go inside.

I usually go to Petsmart or Critter Corner for everything I need but if you know of others that definitely carry it, that would be a big help. Thank you!
I found it, it is in the link above but it is for horses as it's mentioned on the product.
