- PragmaticPulp 6y agoThe massive volume of Airpods sold multiplied by the high number of hours used by each customer should surface these issues quickly due to scale alone. 600 out of 200,000,000-300,000,000 units sold is a reported incidence of around 0.0002%. It's possible that earbud usage has some negative effects in certain people due to earwax impaction or changing pressure in the inner ear, but Apple may be getting the blame because they're the only vendor operating with such large market share.
- monopoledance 6y agoTho, you don't compare it to the absolute number of units sold, but to the typical engagement in the support forum. How many people would even make the connection between Airpods and tinnitus? Same with the dead M1 macbooks and USB-C hubs. I agree the "600" isn't exactly science, but your argument isn't either.
