Answers:
If it is that bothersome, you need to get it cleaned out, but any thing you do should be on the advice of your doctor!. Here are some things that can be done, if you choose:
Probably the best & safest method: A couple of drops of mineral oil instilled into the canal will soften the wax enough for you to get it out the next day!. You will, obviously, have to lie down with that ear facing up, or it will run out onto your pillow and be difficult to wash out!.
If you have a large syringe (no needle, please!), you can fill it with warm water (maybe with 1 drop of soap), and with that ear facing downward, GENTLY flush!.
Last resort, but definitely the fastest: a drop or two of hydrogen peroxide into the affected ear!. It will foam up and get the impaction out, but it can irritate the ear and dry it out too much & damage the tympanic membrane, so make sure you get the lowest concentration of H2O2 available (3%), and you might want to mix it half with water, to be safer!.
If you keep having this problem, you need to see an ENT (ear, nose,& throat doctor)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You really should go see an ear doc about this!.
Because anything you do, is likely to just pack it in there even more!.
And don't fall for the 'ear candle" crap, it's a complete scam!.
It doesn't work!. It's wax from the candle itself that ends up inside!.
Anyway, in the meantime, they sell stuff at the grocery store that you can pour in there to soften it up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could try peroxide!. Put a cap full into your ear, and make sure the ear faces up!. It should clear out the ear and help any possible infection in it!.
Note: It will tickle a bit when the peroxide bubbles up, but that is normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
