Ears full of wax..? Thought it was hearing loss.?

I just went to the audiologist earlier because I thought that I had hearing problems. When they checked my ear, it was full of wax which maybe the reason why I had hearing problems and says that it can take away 20 decibels of your hearing.

The audiologist said that I can go see a ear doctor and use an over-the-counter ear cleaner.
Is 20 decibels alot for hearing? Should I actually see a doctor to clean it out and check on it or can I just clean it myself by buying those over the counter products?

To someone who said that I'm nasty....first of all I been using q-tips and now just realized after using it for so long that I can push the wax in your ear.....

To clean your ears, lay on your side, pour a capful of Hydrogen Peroxide in your ear and let it sit. It will feel funny as it bubbles, but that is what it is supposed to do. When the bubbling slows, turn your head and let it drain out into a towel or paper towel. Repeat with the peroxide as before.

Rinse with luke warm water by pouring a small into ear and turning head to drain, repeat.
This should not be done excessively but when ever you feel that there might be a wax build up. If it does not improve the condition, see a doctor. It is not wise to stick Q-tip type products into the ear canal as this can push wax in, instead of get it out.
