Tinnitus after using AirPods Pro 2

In may 2024 I bought the AirPods Pro 2. After that I’ve used them a little more than my previous headphones. During work calls and in the evening going to sleep listening to podcasts. I’ve used the Bose Quiet Comfort 700 over ear headphone with noise canceling for years. Never had a problem. My hearing is probably not the best but I’ve never had a constant beep. In the evenings at home when it’s there is no interference from office or street noise a constant very high pitched tone/beep is ringing constantly. Probably tinnitus. I quit the AirPods for an almost a week but the sound still there. I’m going to check this with a specialist for a diagnosis. As I didn’t attended special events with loud noises it’s very likely my AirPods Pro caused this.


Additionally, the noice cancelling messed me up sometimes. It works so well that I occasionally got disoriented.


If it’s caused by this apple device and my hearing doesn’t improve, it would be tragic.


Is there a way to treat tinnitus?

is this something that Apple is aware of?

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.
