No, it is not. Use propriety solutions bought from a chemist, or get your doctor (probably the Practice Nurse) to remove the wax. Don't poke things into your ear, it could cause an infection or damage the ear drum.

Your hearing power is slightly low you feel that you want to listen more louder voice than any other normal person please give you the remedy for this?
Excessive earwax can be very embarrassing, and can also cause many people to be a little hard ofhearing. It is common knowledge that we are not supposed to put anything into our ears. Many people want to use cotton swabs to remove earwax, but this creates a problem. Cotton swabs and other small objects can cause earwax to be pushed farther back in the ear, creating more wax buildup and possibly hearing problems.One of the safest ways to remove excessive earwax, especially if you are nervous about doing it yourself, is by seeing yourdoctor. Your doctor will be able to tell you whether or not you have excessive earwax, and can use a method of clearing the ear canal of excessive earwax. Your doctor will perform a simple procedure that allows you to relax as your excessive earwax is removed. Doctors use a special solution that will break up earwax. They will flush the ears with this solution, and then you will simply tilt your head to drain the solution and the excessive earwax. This is a great way to make sure that your earwax is removed safely, and can help with any hearing problems that you may have due to the excessive earwax.If you feel as though you can do the same procedure on your own at home, there is a cheap alternative to the procedure that the doctor uses to remove excessive earwax. You can use hydrogen peroxideinstead of the solution that the doctor uses. It is safe, and can help remove the excessive earwax. All you have to do is pour a small amount of hydrogen peroxide into your ear while you are leaning to your side. You want to keep the peroxide in your ear for about thirty seconds. Once you have waited, simply tilt your head and drain the peroxide onto a tissue. Source: http://www.essortment.com/lifestyle/safelyremoveex_smow.htm

Can you use peroxide in your ear?
Yes you can although you have to be triple sure that your ear drum is not punctured or burst. You have to consult a doctor to find that out. And be sure you don't have a solid ear wax plug where the hydrogen can wiggle its way behind and with no room left to expand it can damage your earIf you are sure it is not punctured and you don't have an ear wax plug, you can put a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in the ear. This will give you a fizzing sound. After a few minutes take a clean wash cloth and turn your head over to drain the peroxide. Then put some alcohol in the ear to dry it out. Make sure you get out all the peroxide because 'left overs' will make your ears fizz for a long time
What do you do for ear pain and muffled hearing caused by itchy ear in the middle of the night?
In the middle of the night I work up with my ear itching. After pushing a million times on the cartilage covering the hole to my ear, I awoke in the morning to pain and muffled hearing. As a medical student I took a deep breathe from the crying and the pain and thought about what was occurring. I believe my ear was irritated whether from wax, particles, etc. I irritated the canal as well as the membranes. My ear didn't hurt to the touch but was sore on the inside. I took 2 ibuprofen for the swelling. Mixed 1 part water to 3 parts Hydrogen Peroxide (3%) on the bottle and heated it in the microwave for 20 seconds. Put it in my ear, then let it out. The warmth helped loosen any wax. Then I put Hydrogen Peroxide (without water) into my ear and let it sit for 10 minutes, while laying down on the opposite side. I poured it out into a tissue and lay ed on my sore ear to allow the remaining Hydrogen Peroxide to drain. Although this process will have to be completed for the next couple days, I can honestly say that I went from having a pain level of 8 to a 1. There is still some popping in my ear and it is still a little muffled but I will continue to take ibuprofen for the next couple days and use Hydrogen Peroxide in the mornings. *Be careful not to use Hydrogen Peroxide for a long period of time, you can dry out your eardrum.
Shower drain that drains fine but there is always water in the drain and after a day the water smells you have snaked the drain and used various draino type products with no change?
As you found out Chemicals are useless and in many cases snaking is not going to work to get rid of smells. The water you do see is possibly the water in the trap that keeps dangerous sewer gases from passing through the trap is called the trap seal. Water Jetting will scour the lines and remove years of build up soap scum that can cause bacteria growth that causes odors. You can also try Hydrogen peroxide to kill the bacteria as it is harmless to humans and pets
