When I started to work with heidelberg systems it was annoying but you get use
to it. Health end of it I really won't know. I figure heidelberg sells the
product is not to harm operators or patient hearing.
I guess you have to research to see if there was any complaints of hearing loss
etc. Maybe there should be a study started.

Our office have just installed the Spectralis. I'd noticed the high pitched
noise but didn't bothered much. However one of the tech said as soon as we
click the "yellow" icon, the high pitched sound gave her spitting headache. I
agree the high pitched sound is in the safety zone but does bothered some
people.
