Special school students, particularly those who are hearing impairment and have limited hearing abilities, require comprehensive oral health promotion. Given their challenge in receiving information, utilizing media becomes crucial for effective communication. Animated videos, catering to the visual strengths of hearing impairment children, present an engaging approach to dental health education that can be specifically tailored to their needs. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of educational videos on the tooth brushing habits of hearing impairment children at the Special School in Jambi City. This research followed a quasi-experimental design using the pre-test and post-test methodology. It involved purposive sampling, and the research instrument utilized an observation checklist. The data analysis was conducted through an Independent T-Test. The research product is an oral health education video focusing on tooth brushing. This video underwent validation by material experts, media professionals, and sign language experts. The effectiveness of using educational videos is evident in enhancing tooth brushing behavior among Hearing impairment children. The intervention group exhibited a higher mean post-test value of 11.93 compared to the control group's mean post-test value of 8.07, resulting in a statistically significant difference (p=0.000).
