◾ For appropriate sound attenuation, the proper use of hearing
protection is important. All personnel should be trained to correctly
apply the hearing protection.
◾ Special attention and training of the operator is required for proper
positioning of the hearing protection for neonates and infants. In
addition this applies to any other condition where an alternative
form of hearing protection might be necessary.
◾ For MR examinations of infants special hearing protection may be
required.
◾ Due to increased anxiety the permissible sound pressure level may
be a reason for concern for pregnant women and their unborn, for
newborns, infants and small children as well as older persons.
Patient care
Patients must be informed about the hazards and safety measures
during MR examinations. Before doing so, it must be confirmed that
an MR examination is permissible and/or checked if increased
precautions are necessary.
