Nathan D CassElizabeth L PerkinsMarc L BennettTodd A RickettsPublished in: The Annals of otology, rhinology, and laryngology (2022)
Noise exposure to surgeons, staff, and patients in the operating room is acceptable per NIOSH recommendations. Temporal bone lab noise exposures are greater, possibly due to poorly maintained drill systems and lack of noise shielding from microscope bulk, yet are also within NIOSH recommended levels.
