Intracochlear Pressure Measurements Quantify Overall Noise Exposure to the Inner Ear During Mastoidectomy
Surgically induced cochlear noise revealed levels high enough to potentially induce acoustic trauma and sometimes at frequencies that may cause hearing loss not captured by a traditional audiogram (ie, 1.33 kHz). These data characterize surgical noise exposures and will lead to permissible noise exposure guidelines and durations for both patients and surgeons.
