The purpose of this study was to analyze, by means of verbal stories, the impact caused by the use of hearing aids in the elderly. Aiming at placing the reader inside the universe of this research project, a literature review was made, focusing the aging process, the hearing impairment and its implications and the sound amplification usage. Method: The procedure used was the gathering of the thematic verbal history in seven hearing impaired elderly collaborators, all hearing aids wearers aging from 62 to 82 years old. The results revealed that some of the collaborators had their hearing impairment detected by a member of the family s suspicion, due to quarrels and arguments, which arouse from the hearing disability in their environment. Others realized their own difficulties in understanding other person s speech and decided to look for adequate treatment. For the majority of them the hearing aids have offered an improvement in their quality of life, leading to a social play enjoyment. The family and friend s respect comes back when they are wearing their hearing aids and it is precisely this respect that makes them happier and more sociable persons. Conclusion: The negative impact provided by the hearing aid usage tends to decrease as the elderly become satisfied with what they are listening to and with life, which, gradually, becomes to be what it was before the hearing impairment. The thematic verbal history procedure can help the gathering of more information so that we can better understand the hearing impairment psychosocial implications, bringing us the possibility of identifying and solving problems in these fields, as they are uttered |
