- acdha 2y agoWhere did you see cause? The paragraph in that section mentions noise but that seems like a weird criticism of a product which has a bunch of features to prevent excessive noise exposure. What would be more interesting to me would be research into whether in-ear designs or active noise cancellation correlate with this at all since those are something humans didn’t evolve with.

- ycombinete 2y agoCynically I did wonder if they’re using Jennifer Lawrence’s arsehole trick to confound the search results for “Apple AirPods Tinnitus”.

- snakeyjake 2y agoAll modern iPhones, when paired with Airpods, monitor listening volume levels and advise you if you are exposing yourself to too loud a volume too often. This information is tracked via the Health app. I do not know if other devices have the ability to monitor this, but I have had the feature turned on since it was released, at OSHA 8-hour exposure safe limits.
