Is it my AirPods that are causing my ear to swell?

Ever since I have gotten my Apple AirPods, I have noticed a large swelling in my right ear. After one week, the swelling is almost to the point where the ear is closed, and the AirPod no longer fits. I am planning on returning them very soon. Does anyone else have this issue?

airpods pro ear infections I am having issues wearing my AirPods pro. Each time I try to use the AirPods, even for just an hour, the same day I get an ear infection. Ear drainage, itchy ears, that lasts for about a week. I have disinfected the silicone tips and still have the same issues. I have not had any issues using the standard airpod's, so I'm am assuming I have an allergy to the silicone tips. Does anyone have any recommendations?

sores are left in my ears from airpods? I’ve had the regular AirPods for just over a year, but I have getting sores in my ears because of them ever since I got them. I thought maybe they would go away eventually but it’s gotten worse. I’ve read replies saying that I should buy beats, I spent over 200 dollars on the AirPods and can’t afford to buy new ones. The amount of pain I’ve been getting is impeccable.

You should consult a medical doctor. Good luck.
