I was watching earwax removal videos, and became curious. How do people build up such huge chunks of earwax without knowing it is in there? Does water not clear a lot of it?

I have trouble with ear wax build up in my left ear. I can’t feel it but I know it’s there because it affects my hearing. And it doesn’t just wash out with water, the wax can become very thick and even become almost solid if it’s in there for too long so it doesn’t dissolve away. Using a cotton swab also doesn’t help because it just tends to pack it down more tightly.
Occasionally I have had to go to a doctor to have my ear flushed out. They use a thing that’s sort of like a big syringe which forces water out under enough pressure to break up the blockage.
