As my mother aged, her ears exuded more wax than when she was younger. Her doctor told us to use baby oil or mineral oil, warm it slightly, and pour into the affected ear. After a few minutes, lay down with that ear facing downward and let the oil drain onto a a double-folded towel. The warmed oil melts and removes the wax. This may take several treatments. Just be sure not to make the oil too hot, test it like a baby bottle on the inside of your arm.
The earlier post about alcohol and peroxide works well to maintain cleanliness and to avoid another waxy build-up.
Good luck!
