OBJECTIVE: to assess the association between speech-language disorders related to hearing loss and to describe it regarding gender, chief complaint, and type and degree of hearing loss. METHODS: retrospective study of 482 archives of patients with speech-language disorders between July 1998 and July 2008. Information on age, gender, area of residence, chief complaint / manifestation of language impairment, etiologic diagnosis, and speech-language and hearing impairment was collected. RESULTS: Most were male patients (56%) aged three to five (32,8%) and six to 11 years (32,8%). Their chief complaints included oral language impairment (57%); sensorineural hearing loss (66,3%); profound hearing loss bilateral (32,8%); and an organic etiology (41,7%). A correlation between language disorder with the level of hearing loss and complaint of language was statistically significant (p < 0,001).
