Compacted ear wax

2015-08-29 17:50:57
Hi, This is pradeep, I'm having very compacted wax in my ears and I have used Dewax drops for a week and went to hospital but doctors did not remove the wax and told me it's very compacted. Please let me know how to remove the wax. As of now I can hear well but sometimes I feel like wax is filled up.
