Noisemakers?

So we have a noisemaker in DD's room. It's one of those that just blows air and you can change how loud/quiet it is. 
We have this one:image

Anyway, yesterday MIL posts this article online about how they "could" possibly hurt baby's ears

 https://www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-health/white-noise-machines-could-hurt-babies-hearing-study-suggests-n41416

Yesterday was her turn to watch my daughter and when I got home my noisemaker was turned off, and it kinda irked me.

Have you all heard anything negative about noise makers?

    I've seen this going around and I'm not sure what to think about it. The noise machine made a big different in Anna's sleep and we still have it on all night long. We never turned it on full blast but I did turn it down last night and she did okay.

    LO wasn't in the room when it was off.  I usually just leave it running all day, but unless she's napping in her crib she's not in there.  MIL was only at my house for a few hours and LO slept in her swing that day.

    We went to the ENT yesterday and she happened to have her 6 month hearing test which she passed with flying colors.

    I have heard that and it was one of the reasons why I didn't buy one for DD, BUT she's 14 months now and we bought one a few weeks ago because she is the lightest sleeper. We literally have to tip toe around our house so I got one because that's just not realistic.

    I agree with PP about using common sense. The article I read stated it shouldn't be louder than a shower running. We use MyPal Scout for 10 mins and a small fan all night. It's worked wonders for our little guy.
