Auditory and visual deterioration are the first signs of ageing, but socially and culturally are not treated in the same way. The late diagnosis, neurological difficulties, the lack of support in the social-emotional environment, can make it difficult to adapt well to hearing aids. The importance of having a good follow-up and rehabilitation service after applying hearing aids is presented. This service can improve substantially the use of the hearing aid in the elderly and helps in family adjustment to the difficulties in coexisting, and also provides strategies for communication that can prevent the isolation in the hearing impaired elderly. In the development of this work we have been able to identify different profiles that present similar problems, and we have classified them into three types: Presbycusis, late adaptation and intelligibility degeneration. It should be mentioned that, although presbycusis is the intrinsic problem in aging impaired hearing, is it not the only one or the most prevalent, and for this reason three other different profiles are described.
