    Abstract:
    The results of a study conducted on individuals exposed to aeronautical environment noise (flight personnel, runway operators, mechanics etc.) are reported. A particular suprathreshold automatic audiometric technique, called P.A.T. (automatic Peyser test) was used because there was evidence that it was more trustworthy than other suprathreshold tests and because this test permits a graphic follow-up of the dynamic evolution of "uditive fatique" phenomenon. The conclusion is drawn with this method it is possible to evaluate more precisely both the entity of the damage and on possible suffering of Corti's organ in individuals exposed to noise, and the simplicity of the test is underlined. Moreover the test is advantageous because it can be done using the normal routine diagnostic apparatus.
