you need to get a syringe (without the needle) and blast water into your ear until it dislodges.

there's an art to it

a really gross black ball of wax will come out..

go to a dr and get them to do it. i don't know how safe it is to do it yourself :P

it's amazing once it's done ... like you have super dog hearing!

Well its safer, but not 100% safe. Lets put it this way, a parent of mine went to the doctor for it and the doctor burst their eardrum cause they got too zealous with the syringe..
But I'm sure that was a total freak accident.
