by flush do you mean as in like with water? definitely don't do that, that will most likely lead to an infection...
I'm seeing someone who works for an audiologist and what fills in most of her day is having to clean out ears and treat people who have experimented with bad cleaning practices with their ears!
Ask for a referral to see an audiologist and have them clean it out, they use small tools and it is very safe and quick.
Things that don't work and you should never use on your ears:
q-tips - yes, it clears out wax but by doing that your body just creates twice as much wax, why? because it needs it for protection and proper function!
ear candles - this one is completely bogus, cleans nothing and also can burn the inside of your ears causing damage (she treats about 10 people with burns from candles a week!)
hydrogen peroxide - I even used to swear by this one, but this one leads to the same problems you get when you use q-tips.. removes ALL the wax and just makes your body produce more...
water rinses or flushes - cause ear infections by forcing bacteria into vulnerable parts of the ear, yet another thing wax normally protects you from ;)
