Surgeons Who Perform Total Hip Arthroplasty Are at Risk for Noise-Induced Hearing Loss, Especially When Using Automated Broaching
This study highlights the auditory risks from automated broach and manual THA surgeries that orthopedic surgeons experience. Manufacturers should focus on reducing instrument noise when designing surgical tools and orthopedic surgeons and operating room staff should take measures to protect themselves from NIHL during surgery.
