Lay on your side and pour it right into the ear canal and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then you need something to flush it with, like a syringe.
Go to your local grocer or pharmacy and buy an earwax removal kit which usually consists of carbamide peroxide drops and a soft bulb ear syringe. The drops will slowly dissolve the hard wax, then you use the bulb syringe to rinse your ear. It may take a few applications, but try it. A doctor will usually prescribe something similar and maybe a little stronger depending on the blockage. The over-the-counter medicine I use every few months or so is called E.R.O Ear Wax Removal Drops. I also rinse my ears in the shower after using the drops, so I can use warm water and get good ear rinses...it can get wet and messy, so rinse in the shower.
One more thing...if you have regular wax build up, and if you cut your hair regularly, recommend placing cotton in your ears before getting your hair cut. The combination of hair, wax and cotton, from Q-tips for example, can create wax cement in your ears. Cleaning your ears regularly will keep the wax from building up.

You're going to need an ear syringe to flush out the softened wax. So, go to the drugstore and buy an ear wax removal kit, which will have ear drops (better than peroxide) and a squeeze bulb syringe.
Follow the instructions.
Hydrogen peroxide will help with earwax but unfortunately it is not recommended for use on or in the body/. Why? Pharmaceutical grade -- what you buy in the drugstore or supermarket) --has toxic additives!
What I use is FOOD GRADE H2O2, which you can buy on-line and have shipped on the ground in a hazmat packaging because you cannot fly it.
It is a miracle healer and cure for a huge list of things but you MUST learn to use it following direction and ONLY diluted into 3%! It must be handled with care. I put 1 oz. into 15 oz. of distilled water (no tap water!) and use it as a mouthwash, to sterilize all kinds of things, including drainboards and cutting boards, as a bathroom cleaner to remove stains from ceramics, etc.
As for your ears, please go to a doctor and have them irrigated to remove the plugs. Avoid earbuds or anyting else that is inserted. My Mom taught me, "Never put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear." I can hear her saying it today, LOL
This is something you do NOT do by yourself. Get it done the correct way by a medical professional, SMH.
