Though symptoms you are describing do not correlate with impacted wax yet if at all you have impacted wax you need to get it removed by a specialist. Before removal it may need to be softened by using wax softeners for few days

Next Steps

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required. Meanwhile you can use Otorex ear drops to soften the wax so that ENT specialist can remove it easily
