Many years ago I had an ear problem and went to an ENT doctor. He did a cleaning and told me in the future to avoid an office visit to just get some cotton, isopropyl rubbing alcohol (I use the 70% solution) and hydrogen peroxide. Mix up a 50/50 solution of the alcohol and peroxide. Soak the cotton and while laying on a bed let the solution drain into your ear. Let it work for a few minutes. Next cover your ear with a tissue and tilt your head the to the other side and dob the solution from the ear. The solution will disolve the wax and the bubbling of the peroxide will losen the wax off the eardrum.
You may have to do this 3 or 4 times to get things really cleaned out. Your hearing will be a little odd for a few minutes after doing this but it goes away in a few minutes. It works great.
