What is the hypothesis here? Do these earplugs have some hidden power compared to other Bluetooth headsets that gives people tinnitus?

  Active noise cancellation?

    The thread doesn't mention "Pro" (I think they had only been out a month when the thread was created). A lot of the discussion here seems to be around the Pro and Max's ANC. So I imagine it's a similar, but different concern. Personally, when I upgraded from AirPods to the Pros my average volume I used dropped drastically. I got this info from Apple Health which tracks and warns of consistent high volumes.

  Other earplugs could have the same issue, but cases are distributed over a wider range of distinct support cases. Maybe this isn't down to something obvious with the audible sounds, but interference, or amplification of some other thing the Airpods radiate. See old mattresses picking up radio signals. Maybe it's a hit-piece on the Apple stock. Maybe this is just numbers and chance. I wouldn't straight dismiss it, since it's not exactly unbelievable and Apple has a history of delivering innovation without paying due diligence to/testing the not UI details.
