초록
이 연구는 소음이 유발되는 진료 시 노이즈 필터링 기능이 있는 이어플러그를 착용하고업무를 시행하여 노이즈 필터링 이어플러그가 치과의사의 청력에 미칠 수 있는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 연구 대상자의 청력을 평가하기 위해 순음 청력 검사와 변조이음향방사 검사를 첫 내원 시와 1년 후 측정하였다. 연구 결과, 이어플러그를 착용하지 않은 군에 비해이어플러그를 착용한 군의 순음 청력 역치 평균값이 유의미하게 감소하여 청력이 호전되는 모습을 보였다. 그러나 변조이음향검사의 신호대잡음비는 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 노이즈 필터링 이어플러그가 청력 손실을 예방하는 데 일부 효과적일수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 그러나 1년간의 관찰 기간은 청력 변화를 충분히 확인하기에 어려울 수 있으므로, 추적 기간을 늘린 후속 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.
Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of noise-filtering earplugs on the hearing ability of dentists wearing them during noise-induced dental procedures. Pure tone audiometry and distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) tests were conducted at the initial visit and 1 year later to evaluate the hearing ability of the participants. As a result of the study, the pure tone average of the group wearing earplugs decreased significantly compared to the group not wearing earplugs, indicating an improvement in hearing. However, the signal-to-noise ratio of the DPOAE tests did not show a significant difference. These findings suggest that noisefiltering earplugs may have some effectiveness in preventing hearing loss. However, since the 1-year observation period may not be adequate to identify changes in hearing, a follow-up study with an extended follow-up period is necessary.
