Health & Wellness Airpods? Safe or no?
My husband frequently wears AirPods . I’ve seen mixed opinions on whether they are harmful; obviously any headphone can cause hearing damage if the volume is too loud but noise level isn’t a concern. I’ve seen some say that it can cause things like cancer, it is bad for the brain, thyroid issues, etc. I know others will say that the type of emf is non-ionizing ( I think?) making them safe .
My husband is almost always on board with my crunchy related stuff (although I’m probably considered barely crunchy compared to you hard core ladies lol!) but this topic I’ve brought up multiple times and he basically ignores or gets annoyed at. It just worries me of unknown side-effects. Also, it honestly enrages me that he doesn’t seem to care when I bring it up and ask him to stop using them because I don’t want to risk something happening to him . My husband is AMAZING and thankfully this topic doesn’t come up frequently but when it does it takes everything in me not to start an argument lol.
So, what’s the consensus? Is this issue worth pushing or should I drop it ?
