I suffer this problem. Regularly have to put drops in my ears and have a nurse syringe them out.
I used to use olive oil drops but the taste got into my mouth and I found it very unpleasant. Tried almond oil recently and found that much better.
I would not personally recommend candling. Some swear by it but most health professionals I have asked have said it can perforate your eardrums.
One thing I have not tried (yet) is Specsavers. Some of their branches offer ear wax removal, no drops required and they use a special machine that basically sucks the wax out without pressure in your ear canal. It looks fairly expensive, and I have not needed to try it so I can’t comment on if its any good.
