Your doctor can perform an "ear-igation" on you. <<< get it?! lol
Bad joke, I know.
To irrigate, the doctor uses something akin to a water pik that flushes out your middle ear. It should remove the compacted wax.
If you want to try a home remedy, pour a 1/2 capful of hydrogen peroxide into the affected ear. Make sure you have your head tilted enough to the side so the solution doesn't drip out. Just to warn you, this is a very odd feeling thing to do. When the HP encounters wax or any other impurities, it starts to bubble. You can hear the crackling of it, and it tickles in a disturbing sort of way. But keep your head tilted for about 1 minute. Press a kleenex tightly against your outer ear and tilt your head the opposite way to let the HP drain out. This should loosen and dissolve the wax enough for it to exit your ear safely. You may have to do it twice to get it all out.

Go to the Doctor. S/he will try to vacuum most of it out. If they use water, they're not a ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) Otolaryngology specialist. You want a specialist. Then what they cannot get out, they will prescribe you something. This will be a liquid-ish substance that you will drop into your ear three times a day for about 7 - 10 days. This will soften the ear wax build up and you can go back to your Doctor. Then the Doctor can vacuum the rest out.

i have used an earwax candle on tons of my patients...i know it sounds odd but it is a specially designed candle that you light and the wax drips down into your ear and in about 15 mins you pull out the beeswax and all of your earwax comes out with it. like i said i know it sounds odd but i swear by it and you can buy them at almost any drugstore good luck

(Hydrogen peroxide), dump 1 capfull into your ear, wait for bubling to stop, you will feel a warm sensation, when this happens the wax will break loose and rise to the top empty your ear out onto a tissue, clean out remaning particals with a Q-tip. Repeat in other ear, do this once every six months.
