Also have him listen to his favorite music while getting the rad Tx. I had them crank the volume up as loud as they could stand it. It not only drounds out the sound of the machine but it does wonders to pass the time especially on those dreaded measurement days. My tech would occasionally slip in her favorite country & western CD and I would yell at her to no avail. I did grow to like a few of those sounds but some were just as bad as the damn Tx. LOL
