Is professional ear cleaning a good option? I try not to use earbuds frequently and was thinking of getting my ears cleaned by a doctor. Please advice.

Normally, ears clean on their own. All we need to do is wipe the outer part with a wet cloth after bath. You don't need to see a doctor if you don't have any problems.
