The article presents the results of research concerning the quality of life of older people over 60 and the level of acceptance of the loss of hearing performance by seniors. The research was aimed at identifying and determining the relationship between the acceptance of the loss of proper hearing and the quality of life of seniors with difficulties in hearing. The subject of the research was the quality of life and the relationship between the quality of life and the sense of acceptance of the loss of hearing performance in people over 60 years of age. The research took the form of a diagnostic survey using the questionnaire technique (WHOQOL-BREF – Short Version of the Quality-of-Life Survey; Multidimensional Acceptance Scale of Hearing Difficulties; Screening Test with TSOS battery). The article presents theoretical issues related to the quality of life of older people with hearing difficulties, with the methodological basis of this research being presented. The results from the conducted research are presented at the end of the article and a number of conclusions for subsequent activities in the field of pedagogy are drawn. It was found that the higher the acceptance level of the loss of correct hearing, the higher the quality of life of the surveyed seniors. The research shows the need to conduct various activities aimed at supporting seniors with hearing difficulties in their psychosocial functioning. It is necessary to raise social awareness in areas connected with the quality of life of older people with hearing difficulties.
