I have heard that the shock wave applicator (lithotripter) in the urology department is noisy and there is a need to wear ear protection. Is it required during ED treatment?

No. Unlike Urologic applications, ED treatment with shock wave requires less powerful shock waves (1/10th of Lithotripsy). For that reason the ED1000 is fitted with a smaller generator, producing less intense electrical sparks thus generating significantly less noise. There is no need to wear ear protection during treatment.
