@ jenellermiller, its really a dark color ( like dark brown) and yesterday i cleaned my ears like 5 times and still got a lot of ear wax from the right ear! and no i haven't gone swimming in a long time but i notice each time i take a shower i feel the leaking after. and i actually haven't felt anything toady so i guess its gone... thanks for the advice!
when you use a qtip what color is it afterward? did you take a shower recently, or have been swimming in the past day or so?.. Sometime after those activities water gets trapped im my ear and eventually leaks out. If there is no pain i wouldnt worry about it just yet.
