Flying with blocked ears due to wax.

Is it safe to fly with a blocked ear due to wax? I'm not looking for an answer that refers to the obvious degraded hearing, and all the safety issues implied, but more the pressure changes and the ability to clear ears on the descent.

Would it be ok as the sinuses are not blocked, and the airway from the mouth to the inner ear is clear?
