AirPods

AirPods have become a mainstream and often-used accessory for remote work, social media streaming, and video calls. The usage has been on the rise and the Apple company has recently made improvements to what it calls an AirPod Pro. 

Apple describes its product as high-quality wireless headphones with an ergonomic design that is comfortable for long-time usage. One of the main advantages of AirPods is their integration with Apple’s operating system, allowing easy access to playback and volume control functions through voice commands and touch gestures. In addition, AirPods have an excellent sound quality and long battery life.

As in the case of AirTags, the disadvantage mentioned by AirPods’ users is that they are only compatible with Apple devices, which limits their use to iPhone, iPad, and Mac users. In addition, the price of AirPods can be considered high compared to other wireless headphones on the market. However, continuously, month after month, I receive contacts from young men and women, Apple users, who are presenting early Tinnitus and whose common denominator is the use of AirPods. 

In terms of operation, AirPods use Bluetooth connectivity technology to connect to an Apple device and provide high-quality sound. In addition, they have a touch sensor on each earphone that allows control of playback and volume; In the same way, they have a microphone to make calls and activate voice assistants.

The declared SAR level for AirPods is 0.98 W/kg in transmit mode and 0.91 W/kg in receive mode.

As an EMF researcher, I find that these devices, if they are to be used, need to operate in close proximity to the SPIRO® CARD Filter. Case studies with the A Better Hearing laboratory in Naples, Fl. showed us that the use of the SPIRO® CARD in permanent proximity to these devices in patients presenting Tinnitus, resulted in a significant reduction in its intensity, a variable measurable in dB.
