Get a wax softener from the store and an ear bulb syringe. Let the softener sit for a while then use warm water and syringe your ear with warm water. Suck the water into the syringe then squeeze the water into your ear. Do that until the wax comes out. If that doesn't work you may have to go to a doctor to get it removed. Don't put anything in your ear to dig it out, you could damage your ear.

If you cannot hear out of the ear, then you have a buildup of hard wax on your eardrum. DO NOT USE A Q TIP in your ear! That just pushes the wax deep and helps to compact it.
Plain old hydrogen peroxide is good to clean the ears, but will probably not help in your case. The hardened wax will not come out. You need to see a doctor and he will get it out.
You could damage your ear and possible lose hearing in the ear permanently if you don't seek medical attention.

At most drug stores they sell products which help flush out the wax, also at some spas they do what is called ear candling, which works awesome it cleans all the wax build up, just be careful on a windy day as your ears will be sensitive they may put cotton swabs in after it is done-- Hope this helps!

A couple of ways come to mind:
1) go to a doctor and have the ear flushed
2) use Debrox for a couple of days to soften the wax and it will come out on it's own
3) same deal with hydrogen peroxide (but that's harder on your skin).

Hydrogen Peroxide.
Pour a little in your ear. You will hear a bubbling sound as it dissolves the wax buildup. When it stops bubbling, tip your head, place your ear on a towel and let it drain.

The sell products at the drugstore that will remove wax. If that doesn't work go to an ENT, an ear, nose and throat specialist.

the proper way is a warm oil poured in like camphour but most folks use hyrogen peroxide and pour it in and let it bubble and then lean ove and drain do it several days a couple times a day and when in the shower let the warm water i that ear and then clean the water out with a tissue or q-tip

hello, pls whatever you do don't shove anything like a cotton bud down your ear, you can damage your hearing by forcing things into ur ear to dislodge wax. ur best bet is to purchase some liquid which will help to dislodge the wax (your chemist can help) or go to the doctor who has a similar liquid which will help to dislodge it first.

if you cant go to the doctor to get them cleaned out, there are these candles you can buy at any health food store or alternative medicine store that you burn into your ear and it draws out the wax. but you need someone there to help you it seems nasty but it works.

Debrox will get wax out, and is over the counter solution you get at the drug store, but it's expensive. Otherwise, hydrogen peroxide will do the trick.
