Measurement of drill-generated noise levels during ear surgery

The results of intraoperative monitoring of the electrocochleogram in patients undergoing surgery for poorly controlled Menières Disease are presented with particular reference to the masking effect of drill-generated noise. The results obtained using a direct, in vivo, electrophysiological method o...

Zusammenfassung:	The results of intraoperative monitoring of the electrocochleogram in patients undergoing surgery for poorly controlled Menières Disease are presented with particular reference to the masking effect of drill-generated noise. The results obtained using a direct, in vivo, electrophysiological method of assessment of drill-generated noise levels are compared with previous postmortem and intraoperative studies and the implications with respect to the likelihood of drill-generated noise induced acoustic trauma are discussed.
