Balloon Pilots' ears under fire: study checks hearing and balance risks
NCT ID NCT07200310
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looked at whether hot air balloon pilots—who are exposed to loud burner noise, pressure changes, and movement—have more hearing loss, ear problems, or balance issues than other people. About 105 adult pilots and non-pilots took simple hearing and balance tests. The goal is to learn if the job affects these functions, which could lead to better safety guidelines.
