Introduction: Hearing is essential for language acquisition. Diagnosis of hearing loss and early intervention result in lower chances of a negative impact on the child's long-term development. Accompanying the development of children diagnosed with hearing impairment is essential, as children, in their school stage, need audiological monitoring and support. Therefore, periodic evaluation must be carried out in the service and some tests can provide important data on its development. Objective: To identify the reading level of children with hearing impairment in a specialized rehabilitation center, correlating it with audiological characteristics, use of sound amplification equipment and receptive vocabulary characteristics. Method: The research was carried out at the Children's Hearing Center (CeAC). Sixteen children with hearing loss, users of hearing aids and/or CI (cochlear implant), of both sexes, aged between 8 and 12 years old, already literate, who attend regular school and without other associated disabilities were included. The reading test “Sentence Comprehension-TELCS”, School Performance Test TDE-II (word reading) was used to assess reading, and the Peabody Receptive Vocabulary Test -PPVT4 was used to assess vocabulary. The audiological data were obtained from the child's medical record with recent evaluation. Results: The SII55dB and 65dB ≥ 64% showed a relationship with the receptive vocabulary. The sentence reading and comprehension test showed a relationship with SII65dB ≥ 64% and with receptive vocabulary >85. The word reading test was unrelated to the SII or vocabulary. The use of the device showed no relationship with any of the data, that is, SSII55dB, SII65dB, vocabulary, word reading and sentence reading. Conclusion: According to the study data, we can suggest that good audibility is related to good receptive vocabulary performance of children with hearing loss, and that good audibility and higher vocabulary performance are related to better performance in reading and comprehension of subjects' sentences. To conclude: Word reading is not related to IBS, vocabulary or the use of devices, and the use of the device was also unrelated to any variable
