Balding dog

My 5 year old male Weim has had a bald spot on the top of his head for a few years. His fur is very thinin the surrounding areas, but absolutely absent on the top. Vets have had no answers for me. The only theory I have come up with is that he shakes his head a lot and his ears have "slapped" away the fur. It is painful when I get hit by when of his flapping ears, so I can ony imagine what it does to his scalp. Has anyone seen similiar syptoms in their dog. The vet has done numerous skin tests, but all have turned up nothing Thanks for the help rob_ct2000@yahoo.com
