Introduction: Children with hearing impairment need monitoring in the hearing health service in an expanded approach to comprehensive health care, which considers other dimensions of development, such as academic performance, in addition to audibility. Objective: To identify the level of reading comprehension of words and sentences of children with hearing impairment, hearing aid users at a Specialized Rehabilitation Center, correlating it with audibility, receptive vocabulary and the time of use of the hearing aid. Method: Sample composed of 18 children with hearing impairment fitted to individual electronic sound devices, between 8 and 12 years old, already literate, in regular school. The tests used were: for reading - “Sentence Comprehension-TELCS” Test, TDE-II School Performance Test (word reading) and for receptive vocabulary the Peabody-PPVT4. Results: The SII-Speech Intelligibility Index 55dB and 65dB ≥ 64% demonstrated a significant relationship with receptive vocabulary. The sentence reading and comprehension test showed a statistically significant relationship with SII 65dB ≥ 64% and receptive vocabulary greater than 85. The consistency of device use did not demonstrate a relationship with any of the SII 55dB, SII 65dB, vocabulary, word reading and sentence reading. Conclusion: The reading assessment indicates that it is a relevant factor in the analysis of the development of children with hearing impairment, correlated with audibility and vocabulary factors.
