Possibility of Hearing Loss from Exposure to Interior Aircraft Noise.

Abstract

This report reviews criteria for hearing damage developed by the Committee on Hearing, Bioacoustics and Biomechanics (CHABA) of the National Academy of Science. It presents noise levels occurring in narrow and wide body commercial aircraft, business jet aircraft and short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft. It presents estimates of time exposure for pilots and crews based on FAA permitted flight times. It also provides estimations of possible hearing damage resulting from different exposures to interior noise of various aircraft types. (Author)
