It works ok. Turns wax water soluble. Trouble is it may take away some lubrication for future wax to escape essentially causing this to happen again.

Not a solution with evidence, but likely works. They are both peroxides doing the same thing, though carbamide peroxide is likely less irritating.

Mineral oil can help decrease the viscosity of the wax helping your ear to clean itself. A drop a couple of times a week can often take care of the problem
