I have had to go to a doctor only once because of impacted wax. He did pretty much the same thing. He used a massive copper syringe for the task. The only thing he did differently than the video was using cotton swabs to immediately dry the ear canal. It was painful, but he said leaving the region wet can lead to infections. I don't trust untrained people to use swabs in the sensitive regions of the canal. Anyway, for home cleaning, 3% H2O2 or baby oil have been working well enough ever since.
