Abstract

Aging causes degenerative changes in the auditory system, making ear health an important aspect of geriatric care. Hearing loss is common in elderly and impacts in their quality of life, mental health and cognitive function. Self-cleaning of the ears, involves inserting objects into the ear canal, poses significant risks including earwax accumulation and eardrum injury. This causes conditions such as otitis externa and tympanic membrane perforation. This activity uses the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) methodology, which aims for physical examination and ear health education. This activity involved 38 participants, 12 men and 26 women. Physical examination revealed 2 participants (5.3%) with right and left eardrum perforations, 9 participants (23.7%) with prop cerumen in the right ear, and 8 participants (21.1%) in the left ear. Implementing proper ear care practices and regular physical ear examinations, elderly can improve their hearing health and quality of life.

Abstract

Hair is an important aspect of a person's appearance. Hair in the elderly experiences a decline in quality which is often characterized by thinning, brittleness and loss. Vitamin D plays an important role in this condition because it affects the growth cycle of hair follicles. A deficiency can cause hair to become brittle and fall out easily. In this community service activity, education is provided to explain the importance of vitamin D and how to get it through a healthy diet and lifestyle. Screening using a hair analyzer shows problems with hair loss and low hair density as well as lots of dead skin cells. Effective education and nutritional interventions, including vitamin D supplementation, are essential to improve hair health and ultimately the quality of life of elderly. Treating vitamin D deficiency, including hair and scalp care, must be an integral part of the elderly's health program. Keywords: education, hair health, elderly, community service, vitamin D
