How do I get something unstuck from my ear?

For some reason I thought it would be smart to put a small ball of solidified rubber cement into my ear after it wasn’t sticky at all anymore but it got stuck in my ear

How far into your ear is it?  You don't want to poke anything into your ear, for risk of shoving it in further- I'd say your best bet is to get to the doctor and have them remove it for you so you don't risk hurting yourself further.

When it first got stuck I panicked and tried to use a q-tip so I am not sure how far it is, it doesn’t hurt and I can still here out of the ear it’s just muffled
You need to get to a doctor to have it removed- even if it doesn't hurt, it can cause some issues down the road- no reason to leave it in there.
