Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
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 Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
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.
