Abstract
Kotoran telinga / serumen/ ear wax pada anak- anak adalah hal yang biasa dikeluhkan para orang tua, sehingga orang tua merasa serumen harus dibersihkan tanpa mengetahui tentang apa itu serumen, apa fungsi dan manfaat dari kotoran telinga. Ketidak tahuan yang mendasar ini menyebabkan orang tua sering kali memeriksakan anaknya ke dokter THT untuk dibersihkan kotoran telinganya dan tidak jarang kotoran telinga sampai mengeras bahkan sering kali menyebabkan infeksi yang berulang. Kotoran telinga yang penuh dan padat dapat mengganggu pendengaran bahkan tuli yang tidak permanen, sehingga untuk murid/ pelajar akan mengganggu dalam penerimaan pelajaran. Keadaan ini akan mengganggu proses belajar mengajar.

Earwax or serumen in children is a common thing that parents complain about, parents think that earwax should be cleaned without knowing what serumen is, what is the function and benefits of earwax. This basic ignorance causes parents often take their children to come to the ENT doctor to be cleaned and it is not uncommon for earwax to harden and often cause repeated infections. Full and dense earwax can interfere with hearing and even non-permanent deafness, so for students, it will interfere in the reception of lessons. This situation will interfere with the teaching and learning process. Provide education for the community or parents about serumen, the benefits of serumen and how to clean the ears properly, continuous monitoring the level of knowledge of parents about ear hygiene from earwax blockage. This community service activity was carried out in Muktiharjo Lor Village, Genuk Semarang which was attended by 27 people with the method of counseling and distribution of questionnaires. The result shows that an increase in public knowledge about ear hygiene was obtained. The community in Muktiharjo Lor, Genuk Semarang, the level of knowledge about the correct ear cleaning technique and knowledge about the impact of ear hygiene is great so that it is expected to prevent the occurrence of temporary deafness due to serum that accumulates due to errors in cleaning earwax, so that this activity can reduce the deafness rate in Indonesia which is a national and international program in control of impaired sense of hearing: "Sound hearing 2030".
