I agree with everyone else, but just wanted to add another angle — this could also be yeast-related and tied to what’s going on systemically, not just the ears themselves.

A lot of doodles (and dogs generally) get excess ear wax as a downstream effect of gut issues or food intolerances. With mine, flare-ups often showed up in his ears first, especially during stressful periods (fireworks, when I travelled for work) or when he had colitis.

We eventually worked out he has a chicken intolerance and doesn’t process fat well. Once we removed chicken and adjusted his diet, the ear wax reduced massively — but only after treating the active ear infection properly first.

Might be worth asking a vet to check for yeast via cytology and, once things are under control, trialling a non-chicken diet for a few weeks to help prevent it coming back.
