Ear nose throat (ENT) disease is still a public health problem because of the many cases found in Indonesia. These various conditions can cause problems, both social, work, school and even economic. There are several factors that can affect the health of both individuals and communities including internal and external. To be able to improve the health status of individuals and communities, it is necessary to carry out several efforts including through health promotion, preventive and curative and rehabilitative efforts. Based on these conditions, social service activities were carried out for the NTB community in Taliwang, West Sumbawa Regency in the form of health counseling and ENT-KL health services as well as hearing examinations with audiometry. The community was very enthusiastic to participate in all these activities. The results of the ENT examination in this activity are that there are still some ENT problems that need attention, namely cerumen obstruction, chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) and otitis externa, although in general there are also people who have good health status. Therefore, it is very necessary to carry out similar activities in order to increase public knowledge about ENT diseases and achieve better health conditions in the future.
