As far as Hippo's link, I suspect it's not an issue. That's mostly caused by middle and lower frequencies, high amplitude, and constant use (hammer drills, jack hammers, lawnmowers). An occasional use, high frequency, low amplitude device is not likely a risk.-- MechE, Feb 13 2015 See link for several uses of a Dr. Who sonic screwdriver.
