I always clean my ears out with a bobby pin. Works much better than a qtip in my experience. Obviously make sure you are alone and in a place where you won't be startled or jostled or otherwise put yourself in a situation where you jam the bobby pin into your ear drum. The amount of junk that gets built up in your ears is pretty impressive.
