Introduction: Hearing loss has a profound effect on the lives of the elderly. The support of family members in the rehabilitation process creates ways to facilitate the acceptance of the disability and the use of hearing devices. Objective: To analyze the perception of family members regarding the restriction of participation caused by hearing impairment in elderly individuals users of hearing aids and compare it with the self-perception of the elderly in this regard. Methods: The sample consisted of 48 individuals, who were divided into two groups, EG being the elderly group, composed of 24 elderly people with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, who use HA; and FG the group of family members, composed of 24 family members, who accompanied these elderly people. EG participants answered the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly (HHIE) self-assessment questionnaire and FG participants answered the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly for Spouses (HHIE-SP). Results: There was no correlation between the time of HA use and the score obtained in the questionnaire. It was observed that the older the person, the worse the results found in the “emotional” domain of the HHIE for the EG group, and the “social” and “emotional” domains for the FG group. In addition, there was a correlation between the two groups, indicating that the worse the results in the HHIE for the EG, the worse the results in the HHIE-SP answered by the GF. Conclusion: The restriction of social participation and the emotional aspects influenced by hearing loss in the elderly who use HA are factors perceived by family members who accompany them in audiology appointments.
