Effects of White Noise and Earplugs on Patients' Physiological Parameters, Pain, Comfort and Procedure Satisfaction

During the procedure, a mobile white noise (WN) application called Noise: White, Pink, Brown will be played via over-the-ear headphones to provide the individual with a sense of comfort. The intensity of the white noise will be determined using sound samples for patient comfort. The mobile WN application will be played to the patient by selecting white from among the color options. The sound level will be adjusted below 50 dB using a measuring device to prevent possible hearing damage (12). At the end of the procedure, the listening process will be terminated and the headphones will be removed. At the end of the procedure, the outer and inner surfaces of the headphones will be cleaned with disposable disinfectant wipes to prevent decontamination when used by another patient.
