Abstract：Objective To discuss whether the pilots with tympanic membrane retraction are more likely to cause aeronautical otitis media. Methods By using the pilots annual physical examination data from 2016 to 2018, the clinical data were summarized. Totally 39 pilots with tympanic membrane retraction were selected into Group A and 39 pilots without tympanic membrane retraction were selected into Group B. Whether the pilots with tympanic membrane retraction were more likely to cause aeronautical otitis media was discussed. Results There were 19 pilots (48%) with ear pressure pain and tympanic membrane hyperemia, including 4 person with flu in Group A, and there were 5 pilots (12%) with ear pressure pain and tympanic membrane hyperemia, including 3 person with flu in Group B. Conclusion The pilots with tympanic membrane retraction are more likely to cause aeronautical otitis media than those without tympanic membrane retraction.
