You seem to be having impacted wax inside your ear canal. You need not use wax softeners like Otorex or soliwax for few days and then visit nearby ENT specialist so that he can remove wax safely under vision
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
