I'm kind of surprised no one mentioned the 'drop of peroxide' treatment for persistent earwax and that Medusa's doctor didn't suggest it. Just soak the tip of a QTip in some hyrdrogen peroxide, squeeze gently into the ear canal. It will sound like sizzling-this is the peroxide breaking up the wax. After a minute, tilt the head sideways so the peroxide runs out. Do it every other day.
As someone who suffered an entire childhood with ear infections, resulting in scarred eardrums, I shudder when I read of people putting things into their ears to clean'em. One small error and an eardrum could get pierced or at the very least, the pressure could cause immense pain. Peroxide avoids both if it's not poured in.
