If that was in my ear I could probably get it out, but I have been doing this for 20 years. I don’t recommend that others start sticking things in their ears. A professional can get that right out. One thing that you might want to try is the Ototek loop. It is safely made so that it cannot go too far in the ear canal. It’s the first tool that I ever used to clean my ears.
Take a look at this. https://www.amazon.com/Ototek-Loop-Ear-Wax-Removal/dp/B008BXLINQ
This one. Theres many out there but this one had all the bits and was waterproof compared to others so easier to clean.

One of these!^^^ User caution is advised. I only used this because I couldn't afford another doctor visit.
I used this otoscope!
And before anyone yells at me, this was the image that greeted me immediately at using the otoscope (with the attached guard) so I don't think my otoscopic adventures caused this damage.

I got one as a gift for xmas that was purchased on Amazon. Not sure which one exactly, as they sell quite a few different ones. But mine runs on wi-fi, uses a free app to view the video on your phone and comes with multiple attachments to pull all the crap out.
It’s sort of like this one:

I use an Elephant Ear Cleaner. It really gets the job done. It is easier used with another person who knows what they are doing however (IE just don't stick it too far in).
I've been sleeping in earplugs every night for more than 20 years, with absolutely zero ear wax issues. These are the ear plugs I've been using the last couple of years:

I purchased a camera from Amazon when BeBird was in short supply. It works very well with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. It comes with four different scoop tools which are ok, I think BeBird might have a better selection of included tools/scoops but ultimately the video quality is the same.

I agree with using an ear wax spray or syringe. Unless they are already damaged/ruptured, using it won't damage your eardrums (but email your doctor first and read any instructions that come with it!). They come with guards or tapered tips that prevent you from inserting the tip too far into your ear canal.
You can use it in the shower so that there's less of a mess, or you can get a basin to catch the water. What is most important is that there is sufficient water pressure to dislodge any blockage and force it out. If the blockage is large or dried, you can use Debrox or olive oil to help soften it.
I personally use this. But find one that you like, or ask your doctor for recommendations.
I am not a doctor. I do not know what kind of wax you have. do not take my words as medical advice. This is just what has worked for me. Look into the Ototek Loop You put it in your ear and start digging. It has a guard on it to prevent it from going too far in your ear. I don't use these anymore because I use ear curretes, but these are safer.
Also, consider the elephant ear. Use some debrox first and then rinse with this thing. It is powerful, but should be safe. Again, I am not a doctor and do not know what is going on in your ear. Do not take my words for medical advice. These things have just worked for me.
Try using water pressure (not just rinsing).
Depending on the blockage, debrox/oil/etc. can take some time to soften or break apart the blockage enough so that it falls out.
You can try using those ear bulbs that you buy at the pharmacy, but they generally don't generate enough pressure to force the wax out. I use something like this, but you can find simpler and cheaper versions out there.
If all else fails, go see a medical professional (especially if there is ANY pain).
I like the spiral ones, I feel like the cast of Armageddon drilling into the asteroid.

It's on Amazon as 'Doctor Easy Elephant Ear Washer Bottle System'. This is exactly what my Primary Care Provider used.
EDIT: And YES my hearing improved immediately after the wax plugs were washed out.
I bought this otoscope. It seems to be sideways, so I always have to rotate my phone 90 degrees. The attachments screw on and stay secure. It was too easy to poke around too hard or deep, so the attachments were tossed after the 3rd try. Otherwise I'm really happy with it for the price.
I used one of those squirt bottles with a silicone tube attachment and tip, like they do at the doctors office. I used 25% peroxide and 75% warm water to flush it out. The squirt bottle was like $12 on amazon! here is one that is similar
I've had to take 2 of my kids in for ear wax removal. Both times the doctor used warm water and a giant syringe. Like this. https://www.amazon.com/Syringes-Scientific-Measuring-Watering-Refilling/dp/B07C71C1LH/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=ear+syringe&qid=1595640133&sr=8-7

You just squirt it in and let it sit.
The reviews said that you'll get better results if you leave it a little bit longer than the recommended time. The product just kind of fizzes in your ear and removes the wax without irritating or digging for it.
