Abstract

The article presents results of evaluation concerning neurophysiologic and psychoemotional state of pilots with occupational neurosensory deafness. Findings are that pilots with occupational neurosensory deafness demonstrate disorganized type of EEG, supported by fading alpha-rhythm, increased slow wave activity in delta range. Other changes are decreased conduction velocity in distal part of median and ulnar nerves - that indicates development of demyelination processes. Psychologic studies proved that personality structure in pilots with occupational neurosensory deafness has dominant traits of balanced emotional reactions, constructive ways to overcome difficulties.
