這起3D龍事件是首次有如此大規模的人數同時被觸發PSE,以往不被重視的PSE因而開始獲得各國政府的關注以及醫界的大力研究。而引起風波的《電腦戰士3D龍》這一集從此被勒令禁播,各國對於動畫、遊戲等畫面的特殊效果也訂定新的製作規範,以避免重蹈覆轍。不過2007年6月4日,又有部份民眾反應觀看2012倫敦奧運會的宣傳短片時引發身體不適。看來 PSE 還需要進一步的研究了解。
響應 WHO 與國際電信聯盟(International Telecommunication Union)在 2019 年提出的安全聆聽設備標準[2],許多手機與耳機製造商已開始著手在軟硬體端導入 WHO 的聆聽標準,可由「設定」內的「聲音與觸覺回饋/音效與震動」或下載應用程式做設定,功能雖因廠牌有異,但多涵蓋下述項目:
