Abstract
257 3rd-year apprentices were given ear, nose and throat examination, electroacoustic impedance tests and audiometry. Their eye colour was also recorded. Average hearing levels of otologically normal left ears were poorer at 4 kHz (p <0.05) for apprentices with eye colours indicating no melanin pigmentation of the iris than for apprentices with melanin iris pigmentation. 257 apprentis de 3e année, après avoir été examinés au point de vue ORL, ont subi une épreuve d'impédancemétrie et d'audiometrie. La couleur de leurs yeux a été notée. La moyenne des niveaux du seuil d'audition des oreilles gauches otologiquement normales était plus élévee à 4 kHz (p<0,05) chez les apprentis sans pigmentation mélanique de l'iris que chez ceux ayant une pigmentation mélanique de l'iris.Keywords
