Introduction: After the implementation of the Hearing Health Directive in 2004, the quality of services in Brazil based on patient satisfaction and benefits provided by hearing aid became crucial for the compliance with it. Goal: Analyze the relation between subjective and objective measures for users of hearing aid. Method: Twenty-two elderly individuals were assessed after joining the selection and adaptation process for hearing aid in a high complexity service. Research was conducted on the occasion of hearing aid fitting and on follow-up appointments one, three and six months later. It was comprised of objective (speech recognition percent index SRPI) and subjective assessments (SADL questionnaire - Satisfaction With Amplification in Daily Life). Results: There was improvement in SRPI accuracy rates and in the SADL score in the period between first use of the amplifier and the following six months. Findings indicate co-relation between SRPI and negative factors after six months of use and co-relation between the number of hours of daily use and the positive effects after three and six months of use. Conclusion: SRPI and user satisfaction rates showed improvement through the six months of amplification use, thus indicating the importance of the acclimatization period
