What should I do if I think that otitis media is causing a hearing, speech, or language problem?

A physician should handle the medical treatment. Ear infections require immediate attention, most likely from a pediatrician or otolaryngologist (ear doctor). If your child has frequently recurring infections and/or chronic fluid in the middle ear, two additional specialists should be consulted: an audiologist and a speech-language pathologist.

Should I clean the earwax out of my ears?

Welcome to Fox Valley Ear, Nose & Throat - Frequently As...
The ear forms wax to trap dust and dirt particles, keeping them from reaching the eardrum. Usually the wax accumulates a bit, dries out, and falls out of the ear canal carrying the dirt and dust with it. The ear canal may be blocked by wax when attempts to clean the ear push wax deeper into the canal and cause a blockage. Wax blockage is one of the most common causes of hearing loss.

I would suspect the problem is with the your host. Most likely the mysql database is housed on a different server and you're loosing connection at times to the server housing the db. You can use cpanel to look at your db for potential problems. I would also take this time to do a database and site backup and download those to the desktop for safe keeping. I have this problem as well on my shared hosted service. The issue is with Google and Yahoo indexing the site.

Can you do a culture to find out what bacteria are causing the problem?

FAQ - Sinusitis - WS Tichenor M.D.
Unlike most infections ( for example a strep throat), where it is possible to determine the exact bacteria by doing a simple culture, it is not possible to simply take a culture from your nose to determine what the cause is of the sinus infections. The bacteria inside the nose which we could theoretically culture are not the same as the bacteria growing in the sinuses unless you have previously had sinus surgery.
