DRILLING INDUCED NOISE REVEALS A POTENTIAL RISK FOR HEARING IMPAIRMENT - AN IN VIVO STUDY

  • 1. Technische Universität Dresden, Faculty of Medicine Carl Gustav Carus, Department of Otorhinolaryngology

Description

In the recent past it has been argued, that during ear surgery, drilling induced noise
can exceed recommended daily exposure limits [1]. Because of general anesthesia
of the patients, evaluation of bone conducted noise-level is limited to indirect and
objective measurements. Therefore, we have developed a system which allows an
online estimation of the equivalent sound pressure level during the surgery.
