I have a 2 year old Beagle. He scratches his ears as soon as he gets up from a sleep or just generally too. We have checked for an ear infection or ear wax, but couldn't find anything. He does this when he feels very excited or sees us when after long time by shaking the whole body.

Ask a Vet about this to make sure there isn't a underlying issue with him! It could be something down inside the ear. Have checked if it persist ,he cannot speak for himself!
If the vet gives him a clean bill of health it could just be his go to anxiety or joy coping mechanism. Our boy has a clean bill of health and his go to is rubbing his snout on the carpet. We had him checked for teeth and allergies and his vet said he is good, that his is just his release valve move.
I would bring it up to your next vet check up. Jot down on your phone or in a journal/notepad to remember for your next visit.
It sounds like you've had his ears looked at by a vet in the past and this isn't something new that has just stated. it seems like this is his way of showing you that he has missed you and he is happy to see you. Just make sure there are no small fleas on his ears and you can check for flea poop.
