AirPods causing head pressure?

You do understand that you're exposed to radiation all the time, right? Sunlight is "radiation". Microwaves are what is called non-ionizing radiation. They do not cause "radiation sickness".

Now, sunlight, that really can be dangerous.

I suspect my headache from the AirPods to come from the magnets in them. I have some old mercury fillings in my cheek teeth, which I suspect is reacting with the magnets in the AirPods. I have tried 2 other Bluetooth headphones which doesn't causes headaches.

All headphones have magnets in them so if that were the case then they would all be bothering you. Large over the ears headphones would be especially causing them. And magnets don't react with mercury.

Do you get headaches when using the regular wired EarPods? They are the same design. Do you truly believe that the AirPods were not tested? They have to pass consumer testing to be certified prior to release.

I have been using iPhone since iPhone 5. And EarPods since then until I bought AirPods. I am not a product expert. Neither technology expert. I don't know if this is even happening because of Bluetooth radiation. Because I bought two pairs of AirPods last April for my own brother and a close colleague. They are still using it. Never heard any complaints from them. But unfortunately, the headache I get is in sync with AirPods usage. I don't get headache again until I put them back. I am not saying these are not tested. All I am worried is, it is causing issues for some people as we can see on web. I am one among many who keeps reading things around web and never speak up. But today I decided to speak because what I experienced is really true and I am afraid if these pair of AirPods will cause health issues for users which we really don't know.

Don't tell me the testings are done and I have to blindly believe that AirPods are not causing headache. This is the point I can't agree at all. I love to use new technology gadgets. Despite having this issue, I am still trying my best to use the AirPods.

What I wrote is not to argue. It is purely and truly what I experienced and want to share that.

I purchased these airpods the day they came out. I always thought everytime I get a headache take these things out of your ear and somethings going on with me. Always when I take them out of my ears I feel no more unbearable headaches. Today it got so bad that I had to leave from work this is what made me read up about this to see if I was the only one. Clearly i’m not. These airpods are very handy for my work however, the painful dreadful headaches are unbearable I will be looking to see an attorny about this issue. Just like they head away the secret about slowing those phones down from us, something has got to be up with these airpods that their not telling us. I WILL get to the bottum of this.

Thank you

The wired EarPods are not the same size as the AirPods, the latter do not stay in my ears very well, the AirPods do. Since there have been many, many blind studies showing people cannot discern BT or WiFi non-ionizing radiation and many more showing they do not cause biological damage. Was this happening back in December when you saw the ENT?

You are actually late to the party as they just released a report that cell radiation does not cause cancer.

What was really interesting what how most major news outlets had stories about it with headlines that implied that maybe it did..... I really hate the way the media reports science.

Editors write headlines and go with what they think will grab attention. Not all of the media sites, printed media I read did this as referring to "media" is like referring to "people". But the one exception they found is a puzzler and is currently being followed up. But you would have to get massive cell radiation levels far beyond what a cell phone can do. The hypothesis was proven, current levels are safe for use.

Good point. Overstatement based on my frustration.

One thing I think is clear: being a rat is a cause of cancer.

When it happened I thought that's weird, I'll google it, airpod headaches. I just did it again--45000 results. Close to the top of the list, several postings on this forum of other people having the same problem.

I like my other Apple products but the response from Apple really surprises me.

You just proved my point on how comments from some downplays experience of other human beings. When you say: "Anyone with common sense". What do you think that implies? Who defines common sense? Some people like me are noticing slight headaches and pressure which happens when they use their AirPods and asking if others are experiencing the same. I would call that common sense but that's my view.

Some have said: "Apple is not going to change the design of all of the AirPods because a few people have issues with them." so that's where am drawing my conclusion of some speaking for .

I do agree to see a doctor to try workout what is wrong but what i disagree is the downplaying of people's experience of using a product.

About lifestyle, I would say have patience. Time will reveal a lot connected with lifestyle choices that even science will confirm. However, all I've said is my personal opinion. People will hopefully choose to take what they want and leave what they don't agree with from my post as I do when reading others.

And am not saying they are the cause of the problem.

I repeat again, some people are downplaying other people’s experience of using a product. This is my personal observation. If your not one of those people move on... if you are, it does not really matter.

And also I wonder why your speaking for IdriSeabright? Just what i observed of people speaking for Apple and in this case, speaking for another person.

Given your not my doctor or Apple, i choose to ignore that last advice. Cheers!

I hope that's not the reason as i want ti buy them but i'm still investigating about that matter. Let's hope they're safe to use and radiation is nothing to worry about. Have a great day!
