It's definatly not easy haha! I've got some "Otodex" for my son at the moment but this not only removes wax it also reduces swelling from infected ears. You can just get normal ear drops though. My GP always recommends it as my kids have waxy ears and they don't seem to clear themselves. My eldest daughter has said the ear drops made her ears pop and "MUMMY, I CAN HEAR PROPERLY"! hehe, felt a little bad I didn't realise her ears were so blocked
