Navy hearing conservation program: hearing threshold comparisons to Navy SEALS and divers.

The study examined hearing threshold for Navy special operations personnel (SEALS (Sea-Air-Land): N = 212; divers: N = 165). Hearing threshold values were obtained and age adjusted using Mantel Haenzel Weighted odds ratio (MHOR) to compare with information in the Navy Hearing Conservation Database. For any threshold above 20 dB in the 500 through 3000 Hz range, the SEALS were significantly less...

Army Medical Service and the Army Estimates

US Army aviation medicine.

In February 1912, the Surgeon General of the United States Army prepared a special preliminary physical examination for candidates who were to receive instruction in the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps. This examination and those devised over the next four years were too demanding and few candidates could pass. In response to the need to revise medical standards for aviators, Colonel Theod...

Correlation between Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and Hearing Threshold Changes

Introduction: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a probable complication of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) Surgery, that may be due to embolism, perfusion failure and consumption of ototoxic drugs. Since the incidence of SNHL after CABG is different according to the various reports, the present study was designed to study hearing threshold change after CABG surgery. Method: In this cross...
