Hello, You should never attempt to dig out earwax buildup yourself. This can cause major damage to your ear and lead to infection or hearing loss. To soften earwax, you can purchase over the counter drops made specifically for that purpose. If you’re unable to clear the wax or if your ear becomes more irritated, you should seek medical treatment by ENT specialist.
