Suggest Remedy For Discharge Of Dark And Smelly Ear Wax
About once or twice a year, I have a discharge of dark, smelly ear wax. Usually low pressure system or wet weather. Had one short
(about 0seconds) of balance stumble. No pain involved. Mild
sinus discomfort. 77 years old, 6'4, 220, no problem medical history.

Hi, thanks for your query. In my opinion, wax is normal secretion of the ceruminous glands present in the ear. Dark smelly wax is normal.
get it cleaned once in 6 months.
Wax is not related to one episode of imbalance or sinus. For this you need medical assistance to help you.
Thanks.
