Don't try to self clean.. Generally the wax has a mechanism to come out on its own.. If it doesn't and there is accumulated wax then you can attempt to put dewax drops in the ear.. Then visit a local ENT doctor for cleaning

Ideally there is no need to clean ears. Get youself checked and if there is wax build-up, doctor will remove it.
