How to wash out excessive earwax (cerumen) with hydrogen peroxide? what solution percentage should i use? any better liquid for this purpose?

Safety: Pick up an over the counter ear wax kit with drops and some sort of bulb/syringe to gently wash some of the wax out. If that doesn't work, or you have increasing pain or hearing loss in ear, go see your local ENT doc.
