Hi I Have Been To My ENT Because My Ear

Hi I have been to my ENT because my ear started draining dark liquid and blood suddenly one day, then stopped after half and hour. It since starts up every two or three days, but more bloody. DR said it is a blood clot in ear canal, (used another name I can't remember) and it is harmless and will go away.
Been a week and still bleeding? How long does it take to 'go away'?
Inconvenient to say the least because I wear hearing aids and can't wear when bleeding.
