Respondents who had otitis externa were highest among respondents with history of ear cleaning (62,5%), without history of activity in water (62,5%), and without history of diabetes mellitus (91,1%). The results of chi square analysis indicate an association between history of ear cleaning (p value = 0,001) and activity in water (p value = 0,036) with otitis externa occurrence.
