Hi....hardened wax will soften by the usage of drops...but if it's too deep inside the ear canal..it needs to be removed by an ENT specialist under a microscope or an endoscope. ENT specialists are trained to to do the same for years together. I don't think you'll be in safer hands
Health Tips
Avoid usage of ear buds as they can push the wax further inside the ear canal

When we use earbuds in inappropriate way… that is what causes infection… First you use waxrid ear drops thrice or more in a day… once wax softens .. some amount will come out and some will be leftover inside .. for that do consult nearby ENT specialist
