Is Ear Wax Cleaning Necessary For Proper Functioning Of Ears?

Is ear wax cleaning necessary for proper functioning of ears?

I have hard wax on both the ears. I used to feel scare to remove the Wax so I did not clean it for years. It becomes hard now and painful while removing. Should i consult a doctor to remove it? And if not removed, would it hamper my hearing in near future.? Please give me a advice...Thank you.
