Are Differences In Earwax Type And Colour Between Both Ears Normal?

Hello doctors, is it normal to have different earwax types? A year ago I had yellow ear wax always in my right ear and white flaky wax in my left ear.I recently noticed that now it s inverted with my right ear producing the white earwax and the left yellow.Should I be at all concerned?
