It isn't an exact science. If you have a higher suspectibility to chemicals, you may need to dilute it, but normal 3.5% hydrogen peroxide you buy in stores is normally fine. (If you had to dillute it, I would not advise more than doubling the amount of water).*
People also ask how many times you need to do it for each ear, but that's also not an exact science, you just wait till it stops making lots of noise and it seems like most of the ear wax is cleaned out (which can say take 8 times for an ear).
Hope that helps!
*If you were to buy 35% hydrogen peroxide and use that for your ears however, that would be a very bad idea, and it would definitely need to be dilluted before usage.

have you ever tried ear candling?? it's better than hydrogen peroxide.
For ear wax I used 50/50 vinegar(white) and rubbing alcohol.
Also that mixture is great to help with itching ears after swimming.
Ratio? Just get an eye dropper, fill it with the peroxide, and put it in your ears. Just make sure you rinse well.
I just got back from the doctor for the same thing that you asked about. The doctor told me to use 50% water to 50% or less of Peroxide. Make sure the water is warm. They flushed my ears out and it's a lot better than it was before I went in this morning!!
