Is Noise from Suctioning Harmful to Surgeon’s Hearing?

A growing concern in the community of oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMSs) is the progressive hearing loss that has become more evident in older surgeons. Very few studies have focused on the effects on a surgeon's hearing based on their environment. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not the noise produced by suction, compared to federal guidelines, could have a damaging effect on the hearing of OMSs.
