A malfunctioning hearing aid/earbud can potentially cause permanent hearing damage. Unless it explodes, a misbehaving phone can't damage your vision.

- bongodongobob 2y agoI'm not saying it makes sense, but that's the idea.
- Retr0id 2y agoIt's still a non-sequitur because regular earphones are not subject to such regulations.
- kube-system 2y agoNo, medical devices are regulated because society demands a certain degree of certainty from those who claim to treat medical issues. Most societies don't want it to be legal to sell snake oil to vulnerable people suffering from a health issue. There are many dangerous unregulated things that can destroy your hearing or vision. But they don't claim to protect them.
