You seem to be suffering from impacted wax inside your ear canal. Removal is the treatment for this condition and this needs to be done by a specialist under vision.
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required. Meanwhile you can use Otorex ear drops to soften the wax so that ENT specialist can remove it easily
