Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Formally consent to voluntary participation in the research;Have a diagnosis of mild (26 41 db) bilateral sensorineural hearing loss according to WHO, 2014 as well as the necessary complementary evaluations according to the “Instructional of Hearing, Physical, Intellectual and Visual Rehabilitation”, of the Ministry of Health (Ordinance GM / MS 793 of April 24, 2012; Ordinance GM / MS 835 of April 25, 2012 ); Be in the age group of 18 to 60 years; Be restricted for 24 hours before the procedures to: drinking alcohol and caffeine; vigorous physical efforts (guidance that will be carried out before the research is accepted).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: uncorrected visual, neurological, cognitive, cardiac changes (such as tachycardia), comorbidities and reports of uncontrolled systemic diseases, and systemic arterial hypertension;Report having previously used hearing aids for any period of time;

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The hypothesis of this work is that people with mild hearing loss present auditory effort, measured through the dual task paradigm (response time for simple task subtracted by double task), heart rate variability (Sd1 index and rmssd compared between rest and task) and questionnaires (score analysis), assessed in hearing aid pre-adaptation care.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The use of an individual hearing aid reduces hearing strain in patients with mild hearing loss, measured by comparing the rates assessed in pre-hearing aid fitting with the rates assessed after 3 months of hearing aid fitting.
