Sažetak
Due to the increasing human exposure to low frequency and high-intensity (greater than 110 dB SPL) noise, which is typical for the working environment of civil pilots, a negative impact on their health have been noticed. Because of prolonged exposure to combined influence of noise and vibrations pilots can suffer from a chronic progressive cumulative disease - VAD, Vibroacoustic disease. Symptoms are numerous: mood changes, respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, heartburn, chest pain, nausea, skin infections, conjunctivitis, blood in the urine, gastritis, bleeding nose, varicose veins, etc. Disease was first diagnosed in the 1984 with the airline technicians and military pilots in the 1992 and seven years later with the civil pilots and cabin crew. The paper will deal with the subjective assessment of respondents' own state regarding hearing and symptoms that can be associated with vibroacoustic disease. The study was conducted on a sample of civil pilots with more than three years long service. Correlations in auditory effects of noise, temporary threshold shift, tinnitus and vibroacoustic disease symptoms were compared with the length of service and type of aircraft which the respondents were flying on.
