Zusammenfassung:Objective: To identify risk factors related to sensorineural hearing loss in elderly. Methods: The sample consisted of 60 selected elderly, divided into two groups: the Case Group, composed by 30 individuals, 21 females and 9 males, aged at least 60 years, presenting sensorineural hearing loss, and the Control Group, composed by 30 individuals matched on gender and age, with normal hearing. The patients were submitted to audiological anamnesis and tonal audiometry. The hearing impairment was defined according to average threshold greater than 35dBNA, in the frequencies of 1,000; 2,000 and 4,000 Hz, in the best ear. Results: Statistically significant odds ratios were: a) to audiological history: noise exposure and family history of deafness; b) to situations involving hearing difficulty: television, church, telephone, silent environment, spatial location of sound, difficulty with voices and noisy environment; c) to otologic history: tinnitus, otorrhea and nausea; and d) to medical history: visual problems, smoke, alcohol, thyroid problems and kidney disease. Conclusion: The findings of this study highlighted, for sensorineural hearing loss, risk factors related to audiologic, otologic and medical history, and to situations involving hearing difficulty. Objetivo: Identificar os fatores de risco relacionados à perda auditiva sensorioneural em idosos. Métodos: Casuística constituída por 60 pacientes idosos separados em dois grupos: o Grupo de Caso, composto por 30 idosos, 21 do sexo feminino e 9 do sexo masculino, com idade mínima de 60 anos de idade, apresentando perda auditiva sensorioneural; e o Grupo Controle, composto por 30 idosos, pareados por gênero e idade, apresentando audição normal. Os pacientes foram submetidos à anamnese audiológica e audiometria tonal. O comprometimento auditivo foi definido de acordo com média de limiar maior que 35dBNA, nas frequências de 1000, 2000 e 4000 Hz, na melhor orelha. Resultados: As razões de chances estatisticamente significantes foram: a) para história audiológica: exposição a ruído e história familiar de surdez; b) para situações de dificuldade auditiva: televisão, igreja, telefone, ambiente silencioso, localizar sons, dificuldade com vozes e ambiente ruidoso; c) para história otológica: zumbido, otorréia e nauseas; e d) para história médica: problemas visuais, fumo, álcool, problemas na tireóide e doenças renais. Conclusão: Os achados do estudo evidenciaram, para a perda auditiva sensorioneural no idoso, fatores
