Sommario/riassunto

A program was initiated to examine both the current hearing capabilities of pilots and non-pilots, and developments in auditory warning design that might serve to provide more distinct and



detectable alerts for the pilot. A two-phase study was designed (1) to obtain current threshold data and determine the relationship between the pilot and non-pilot populations and (2) to examine the effects of cockpit (engine) noise on the hearing thresholds of pilots.
