Este estudo pretende medir a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos com perda auditiva (PA), definida pela perda média dos limiares aéreos tonais. Este estudo transversal quantitativo e descritivo foi conduzido entre Maio e Outubro de 2010 numa amostra de 328 indivíduos (47.0% do género masculino), com idade média ± desvio-padrão de 45.82 ± 12.93 anos, referenciados ao Gabinete de Audiologia do CHTS-UPA, EPE que foram avaliados e entrevistados. Recorreu-se à Versão Portuguesa 2 do Questionário de Estado de Saúde (SF-36v2) do CEIS-FE-UC, como instrumento para medir a qualidade de vida, complementado com um questionário de identificação e de dados sócio-demográficos e clínicos. Os indivíduos com perda auditiva que integraram a amostra do presente estudo revelaram piores percepções do Estado de Saúde do que as autopercepções dos elementos da amostra que constituiram os valores de referência, principalmente nas dimensões Saúde Geral da componente Física e nas dimensões Função Social e Saúde Mental da componente Mental da Saúde. A perda auditiva encontra-se negativamente associada a valores elevados de saúde, promovendo diferenças entre indivíduos com PA e indivíduos sem PA, nas dimensões do SF-36v2, Funcão Física e Social, Desempenho Físico e Emocional, Saúde Geral e Mental e Vitalidade. A avaliação da audição, a prevenção da perda auditiva e a reabilitação auditiva podem contribuir para uma melhoria do desempenho social e bemestar da população.
