[Hearing loss in airplane crew].

K Okamoto, H Takyu, J Inoue

    Journal of UOEH
    |March 20, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Airplane crew experienced more left-ear hearing loss, but cockpit noise likely wasn't the cause. Potential factors include headphone use or individual susceptibility to hearing damage.

    Area of Science:

    • Aviation Medicine
    • Occupational Health
    • Audiology

    Context:

    • Study analyzed 289 airplane crew members who failed physical examinations between 1970-1984.
    • Investigated prevalence and potential causes of hearing loss in aviation personnel.
    • Examined factors beyond typical cockpit noise exposure.

    Purpose:

    • To identify the causes of hearing loss in airplane crew members.
    • To determine if cockpit noise levels are responsible for observed hearing impairments.
    • To explore alternative hypotheses for hearing loss in aircrew.

    Summary:

    • Hearing loss was more prevalent in the left ear among the studied crew.
    • Cockpit noise levels (Leq ≈ 90 dB) did not appear to be the primary cause of hearing loss.
