Abstract

Presbycusis is an age-related hearing loss caused by a degeneration process which is a cumulative effect of various risk factors. The unpreparedness of the elderly to encounter these conditions will have an impact on the low achievement on their quality of life. Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly-Screening version (HHIE-S) questionnaire is a questionnaire that can be used to measure quality of life in patients with hearing loss. This study was aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between presbycusis with the quality of life, using cross sectional analytical research methods. The data used in form of primary data is the result of filling in the guided questionnaire and the results of the audiogram, while secondary data is in the form of medical records of presbycusis patients at Dustira Hospital in the period January 2017-December 2018. Data were analyzed descriptively, by Chi Square Test and Spearman Correlation Test. The incidence of presbycusis in the period January 2017-December 2018 at Dustira Hospital is 2,6%. The result showed most of the patients were aged 65–74 years (61,8%), male (52,7%), married (58,2%), economic were similarities between moderate and low economic status (49.1%), had a history of chronic diseases (76, 4%), had a moderate degree of hearing loss (61,8%) and had a mild-moderate degree of quality of life (52,7%). The results showed that there was a significant and strong relationship between presbycusis and patients’s quality of life (p < 0.001) and r = 0,509. So more severe degree of hearing loss in presbycusis patients, more severe decrease in patients quality of life.
