Objetivo: Este estudo buscou compreender a percepção dos indivíduos com problemas auditivos sobre o abandono do aparelho de amplificação sonora individual (AASI) conhecendo as situações vividas antes e após seu uso. Métodos: Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com abordagem fenomenológica com dez indivíduos que participaram de estudo anterior e relataram terem abandonado o uso do AASI. A análise das falas seguiu os passos de descrição, redução e interpretação fenomenológica. Resultados: Pode-se observar que os familiares são os principais incentivadores para utilização do AASI. Alguns indivíduos relataram querer ouvir algo específico, ou seja, uma situação que mais gostaria de ouvir. As principais queixas para o abandono do aparelho auditivo foram o barulho, o incômodo e a estética. O motivo do não retorno se deveu ao fato de depender de outros e esquecimento. Conclusão: A percepção da aceitação do aparelho deverá ser avaliada durante o aconselhamento e retornos ao serviço. A assistência domiciliar aos usuários de aparelho de amplificação sonora individual poderá facilitar o uso deste.Palavras-chave: Auxiliares de audição; Fonoaudiologia; Perda Auditiva; Percepção Auditiva; Pesquisa Qualitativa.
