If you are continuing to get wax out regularly then he may need to be seen by your vet. This can be a sign of ear mites or an ear infection. Going untreated can lead to a hematoma or a ruptured ear drum. I would make an appointment to see your vet so they can get a sample of the material to see what the cause is
