Check with your pharmacy/drug store, if they have an ear wax removal kit. It usually has something to squirt saline into the ear and drain it and remove wax in the process. If that does not resolve the issue, your doctor can wash out your ear. Wish you good health!

Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and go see your Physician.
