Pump Warm to lukewarm water inside the ear through a syringe, tilt your ear downward when pushing the water so that all the earwax goes out . Do it a couple time per ear twice a year

syringe with a needle? or just the plastic mouth of it

Just the plastic so that it fits on the opening of the ear canal and you can push the water directly inside it with as much pressure as possible

Are you sure that's not dangerous for the ear drums?

So far I have had 2 doctors perform the same procedure on me. That leads me to believe it's safe. You feel similar as going to the deep end of a pool and the ear gets full of water. It is uncomfortable but so far no damage.

They sale really cheap cleaning kits. Little spray bottle with a flexible nozzle on the end. Warm water alone works great. A few drops of earwax softener works for harder wax even a little hydrogen peroxide can be used.
