A study of risk factors and prevalence for noise-induced hearing loss in Canadian Armed Forces pilots / Erin Smith, Craig Burrell. : D68-10/060-2018E-PDF
"The aircrew environment presents a wide variety of noise hazards, including high levels of ambient noise during flight, which may both increase the risk of permanent hearing loss and interfere with communication and flight tasks. In particular, it has been suggested that the volume of the CF-188 Hornet’s (CF-18) aural alerts are sometimes insufficiently audible during normal communication traffic. To ascertain the prevalence of this problem, as well as to better understand the hearing status, risk factors for hearing loss, and current practices with respect to hearing protection measures among Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) aircrew, we undertook the present study, with a special focus on CAF pilots"--Abstract.
