High noise levels during nCPAP reported by Karam et al. demonstrate the presence of a continuous exposition to audio trauma by the developing ears of preterm infants.1 These levels were directly related to the flow through the circuits, but not to the pressure generated, neither to the type of nCPAP device used. To improve the patient-ventilator interface we developed a new device (neonatal helmet CPAP) to administer C...
