Your Story Matters

At the Aviation Brain Health Initiative, aviators’ experiences are essential to understanding the long-term effects of high-performance flight. Sharing your story brings visibility to an often unrecognized issue, connects others facing similar challenges, and directly supports ongoing research. You may be experiencing effects without realizing their cause. Pilots have reported symptoms such as memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, persistent headaches, mood changes, hormonal disruption, neck and spine issues, sleep disturbances, fatigue, and slowed reaction time. These experiences matter and can help identify important patterns over time. If any of this sounds familiar, you are not alone. Your voice can make a difference.
