Not medical advice, but when I can tell it's getting full in there, I pour 50% diluted hydrogen peroxide (just use the cap of the bottle) in my ear, let it bubble away for 5 minutes or so, then use a bulb syringe thing with warm water to flush it out til it's clean. Be careful with pressure and temperature of the water, but it works great.
This is what I do. I got a flushing ear thing specifically with the nozzle for ears on Amazon for like 10 bucks and it's a game changer. I gotta do it yearly.
