this is really weird, but my mom did this to me all growing up, a dr. told her it was not harmful and i still do it. put your head sideways and pour a capful of hydrogen peroxide in your ear, and sit for five minutes with it in your ear. it fizzes when it hits the wax and desolves it. what is not desolved loosens and falls out when you drain the peroxide from your ear. afterwards your ear is clean, not full of oil or anything.
just dont do it to often because wax is there for a reason, to keep dirt and other things out, same with boogers. but it will help i promise!!
also my grandpa uses a water pik in his ear, dr. recomended.

You can either use what they have at the store with loosen ear wax or if it is really stubborn like I have had it you can loosen and get it out with hydrogen peroxide and water. If you can get a hold of a seringe that would be great too or the bulb might work. Keep flushing it in the ear until it fizzes and comes out. If you can have someone help you and hold a bowl under your ear and they flush your ear out and it will just pour out of your ear with little wax in it. It is the same procedure they do at the doctors office. If you are worried about infection afterwards just put a few drops of colloidal silver in your ears after and put in a cotton ball. I have much experience with ears.

A few drops of warmed - not hot - olive oil dropped into the affected ear, then put cotton wool in the ear. The oil naturally softens the wax, making it easy for the body to shift it. Do not put anything in the ear if it is infected, or if you have, or have had, a perforated ear drum, or have grommets in your ears.
This is an old fashioned cure that has been used several times thoughout my childhood, and it works.

Hi Dan, Look article: http://www.askedweb.com/askedweb/Ear_Wax_-_Useful_As_Well_As_Menace/
* Ear syringe can be used in your ears to squirt warm water to irrigate the accumulated wax
* Use of olive oil in your ears can smoothen the ear wax to be removed easily
* Avoid using ear buds which can push ear wax inside rather than removing it
* You can also use baby oil which has to warmed up till room temperature and should be done at least twice a day
* Avoid picking or poking your ear canal as this may damage your ears
* You can also use Vaseline which has to be pasted to the outer edges of the ear opening and be cleaned the next day.

Because your ear canal's self-cleaning mechanism is working properly. Using Q-tips will only prevent that. It's completely normal... and it means your ear is working just like it should. The consistency depends on the amount of other stuff that's in the wax, and that changes all the time. Cleaning around the outside of the ear canal won't prevent the balls from falling out. Anyway, it's normal. Just means your ear is self-cleaning properly.

You could start with Murine ear wax removal kit- sold at most drug stores in the US.

OPI sticks, you light them at the top end insert the unlit end into your end and the vacuum removes ear wax. You can buy this or go to a beauty salon and ask them to do it.
OR just buy one of these sprays from the chemist

Personally I use a liquid laxative....if it can loosen the stuck up bowel it can soften ear wax..and it does...I'm a pediatric nurse and the kids lay better for that than for the H2O2 procedure....
