Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is sensorineural deafness resulting from prolonged exposure to loud noise. In the military environment, personnel with NIHL are often found. One of the professions that are at risk for NIHL is an aviator. Some of the factors that influence the degree of deafness are age and length of work. This research is a descriptive quantitative observational study with a cross-sectional design. The research subjects were Squadron 11/Attack helicopter pilots at Achmad Yani Air Base, Semarang, totaling 32 pilots, which were taken from medical record data. Sampling was done by total sampling. The data obtained were processed using SPSS and grouped into tables accompanied by descriptive explanations of each characteristic. The audiogram results showed that 32 pilots were normal, across all age and length of service categories. This result is due to the appropriate use of hearing protection device (HPD), in the form of a helmet that reduces noise up to 14 dB at 250 Hz, 21 dB at 1000 Hz, 26 dB at 2000 Hz, 37 dB at 4000 Hz, and 42 dB at a frequency of 8000 Hz, which pilots use. The pilot's working time is relatively short with a flight training schedule only 2 times a week and a flight time of around 2-3 hours. The conclusions of the study showed a description of normal hearing function in all Squadron 11/Attack helicopter pilots, based on age and length of service.

Abstract: Superficial dermatomycosis is a skin, nail and hair infection caused by fungal pathogen. Based on the pathogen, this infection can be divided into dermatophytosis, pityriasis versicolor and superficial candidiasis. The rapid and proper diagnosis is necessary to determine the initial theraphy and prevent the treatment delay. Superficial dermatomycosis diagnosis can be performed using anamnesis, physical examination or supporting investigation. The routine investigation method commonly use Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) because the KOH method is easy to be performed, rapid, simple and affordable. Chicago Sky Blue (CSB) is a dye to give a better color contrast to the fungi so the fungi would be easier to be detected. Objectives of this research is to observe the sensitivity and specifity difference of Chicago Sky Blue (CSB) dye and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) methods for Superficial Dermatomycosis. The research was performed using cross sectional design analitical obsevation with 30 research subjects. The subjects consist of 15 superficial dermatomycosis patients and 15 non-superficial dermatomycosis patients. The samples were taken from the patients lesion swabs. The samples were checked using KOH and CSB, then observed by the medical analyst. The superficial dermatomycosis samples consist of mostly dermathophytosis (53.33%), then pityriasis versicolor (26.67%) and superficial candidiasis (20%). The sensitivity and specificity of KOH were 86.67% and 100%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of CSB were 93.33% and 100%, respectively. The CSB dye method has a higher sensitivity than KOH.
