How to clean ears?

Asked for Male, 32 Years

Can a small cap full of hydrogen peroxide be poured in ears to clean the ears? I use it monthly once and don't have any problems so far. Is it right to use it? Are there any drops that can be used to clean ears safely or a visit to ENT mandatory? I don't want to visit a clinic due to Corona.
