Not at home: Remember, "The only thing you should put in your ear is your elbow". Ear wax is a natural substance that helps trap dirt from the environment from accumulating in the ear. The only part of the ear that you should clean is the part that you can see. You can wipe away what you can see, but NOTHING goes in the 'hole'. If there is build-up inside your pediatrician can help remove it even with tubes.
