Hello everyone.
I have a surgery next week for a coccyx (tailbone) cyst removal through laser. My doctor told me the procedure runs an hour and the laser will be used from the 20th minute onward intermittently, for 5-6 seconds at a time with a 15-20 second break in between, possibly with even longer breaks.
The laser ranges between 85-95 dB which seems loud. If it's only used for seconds at a time, is it likely to cause any hearing loss or worsen tinnitus?
