Tinnitus after using AirPods Pro 2

Ask your doctor.

Apple is aware that tinnitus exists. They have built safeguards into ios to allow you to limit the volume from your AirPods to prevent damage to your hearing. They are not responsible for how you use them.

This issue has come up in the past in Apple Community forums (e.g., AirPods causing tinnitus? - Apple Community). As a result, I think it's worth considering whether something in the AirPods Pro technology is at fault, as opposed to how the AirPods are being used. Having owned my AirPods Pro 2s for a little over a month, and having used them almost exclusively in noise canceling mode (and at very low volume, I would add) for watching shows on Netflix, etc. (so as not to disturb others in the room), I've developed a ringing sensation in my left ear that wasn't there before. And that never developed during the years that I used my old Powerbeats Pro earbuds. Since the Powerbeats didn't have noise cancellation, I'm wondering if there's something in Apple's form of the technology that's the culprit. All this is speculative and anecdotal, obviously, but as noted above, given the number of those who've experienced tinnitus in conjunction with using AirPods Pros, the question should at least be taken seriously rather than dismissed out of hand.

This is not the proper forum for that.
