effects of prolonged use of airpod pro

Any headphones can damage your hearing if you play the volume too loud and listen for too long. Any in-ear headphones can cause irritation if you use them for too long.

You might periodically want to clean and disinfect the AirPods. See:

How to clean your AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and EarPods - Apple Support

Is it OK to use a disinfectant on my AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, or EarPods?

Using a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe, 75 percent ethyl alcohol wipe, or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, you may gently wipe the exterior surfaces of your AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, or EarPods. Don’t use on the speaker mesh of your AirPods, AirPods Pro, and EarPods. Don’t use on the knit mesh canopy and ear cushions of your AirPods Max. Don't use products containing bleach or hydrogen peroxide. Avoid getting moisture in any openings, and don’t submerge your AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, or EarPods in any cleaning agents.

I have been using AirPod pro's for years with no side effects or health issues. I have read that wearing any earbuds for extended periods of time can increase your risk of ear infection but, I have never had any issues and I even wear mine to bed at times.

Sometimes a pimple is just a pimple.

I’m not sure if this is as a result of prolonged airpod use but I and my mum have used our AirPods almost everyday for like two years and between this week and last week we’ve had something that looks like a pimple show up in our ears. Hers came last week and left but mine just showed up yesterday. If you have similar symptoms please reply to this😊
