ABSTRACT
The article covers data on prevalence of neurosensory deafness among civil aircraft crew members. The study revealed high level of neurosensory deafness in civil aircraft crew members, averaging to 50.8% in neurosensory deafness structure among noise-related occupations. Arterial hypertension appeared to be the most prevalent concurrent disease in civil aircraft crew members with neurosensory deafness, found in 47.5% of the patients examined - that considers arterial hypertension as a factor of neurosensory deafness progression.
