Hi,
Instead of using hydrogen peroxide which gives sometimes irritation and increase the problem, you can use some wax dissolving ear drops like Waxolve or De-wax ear drops.
Put this ear drops 2-3 times a day for few days.
This will dissolve the wax and made wax soft.
After few days clean the ear with cotton buds.
Ok and take care.
