Carbamide peroxide drops have helped me on multiple occasions.

I lie with my ear hole pointing up, put ~10 drops in, let them percolate for 5 minutes, rinse them out with hot water from a rubber or silicone bulb syringe (may be advertised for use in baby noses instead of ear irrigation). Doing it once is never enough but a second round the next day, sometimes a third round, has usually been enough to dislodge it.

I have also had nurses clear out my ears twice, they've used a big syringe, the size of a caulk gun, to flush it out (based on the size of the collection bowl, it's not really a lot of water, it's just focused in a narrow jet).
