I have this weird issue with my ear wax?
The ear wax in my right ear is a really dark orange colour, whereas the one in my left ear is a normal sort of yellow colour (yes I am aware this is both weird and disgusting, but promise this isn't a wind up). I keep my ears clean by washing them every day (I hate having dirty wax filled ears) and it seems like I have a lot more of this orange wax coming from my right ear than normal wax from my left ear when I clean them... other than that, no pain or discomfort and my hearing is fine in both ears.
I am willing to go see a doctor if needs be, but it doesn't seem like there is anything wrong with me.. it's just a bit weird.
Anyone ever heard of anything similar and is it a problem?

You may have had some mild infection that you didn't notice, might be worth visiting the nurse at your local gp's and getting them syringed.

I would go the doctors just to rule out any injection, but you shouldn't be cleaning out your ears every day as the wax in your ear acts as a defence against foreign objects getting into your ear.
You could try hopi ear candling (thermal auricular therapy) which is non-invasive treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of conditions. This is basically where a trained therapist puts a candle made from beeswax into your ear and lights it. The candles work on a chimney principle, drawing any impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed. But this procedure can only be done if there is no injection or perforated ear drum.

Hmm. I'm not sure, but I think you can go to the doctors and get them flushed out so it cleans them so you shouldn't get so much building up.
I suggest going to the doctors. :)
