Excessive cleaning can leave the skin tissue in the canal unprotected and susceptible to infection. That was not the cause in my case but I just went through a three month treatment to cure infection in both ears (part of this time was spent finding the right doctor). And as some have mentioned, pushing objects into the ear canal can compact the wax, making the problem worse. A little wax is healthy, too much of course is bad. If in doubt, get professional help.
