World Health Organization (WHO) reports that around 65% of elderly people have hearing loss. Indonesia is the fourth country with hearing impairments with 7.03% of cases. Hearing loss can disturb the emotions of the elderly and reduce psychosocial function, thus having a negative impact on the activities and social interactions of the elderly. This study aims to determine the relationship between hearing loss and quality of life in the elderly. Researchers used observational analytical methods with a cross sectional design. Samples were taken using a non-probability sampling technique at the Rumoh Seujahtera Geunaseh Sayang Lamglumpang Nursing Home. Researchers carried out pure tone audiometry examinations and filled out The Hearing handicap Inventory for the Elderly-Screening (HHIE-S) questionnaire. It was found that the entire sample experienced hearing loss and as many as 50% of the elderly experienced impaired quality of life in social-emotional aspects based on the HHIE-S score. Hearing loss has a very strong positive correlation with quality of life as evaluated using the HHIE-S questionnaire with Spearman Test results between right ear hearing loss and quality of life (r = 0.719, p ≤ 0,001) and left ear hearing loss and quality of life (r = 0.819 , p ≤ 0,001). Hearing loss causes worsening of emotional functioning and disrupts social relationships and individual psychological well-being. The mental condition of people with hearing loss will be affected, resulting in a decrease in their level of happiness. A decrease in a person's ability to communicate with other people causes social isolation and difficulties in establishing relationships with other people.
