10 Risky Reasons Your Kids (and You) Should Not Use AirPods

Experts caution that children and teenagers, due to their thinner skulls and more absorbent brain tissue, are especially vulnerable to various pretty horrible health risks:

1. AirPods emit RF radiation near your head and body. 

Air Pods utilize Bluetooth wireless technology, which means they emit radio-frequency (RF) radiation near your head and body for prolonged periods, increasing your risk for serious health issues, including cancer and neurological, reproductive and DNA damage. Bluetooth, just like cellular transmissions, are a form of radiofrequency radiation, typically in the band of 2.4 to 2.485 Ghz.

One experts says:

“My concern for AirPods is that their placement in the ear canal exposes tissues in the head to relatively high levels of radio-frequency radiation.”

2. AirPods pose a risk to everyone, however, it is even greater for young people. 

Children and teenagers absorb more RF radiation than adults because they have more absorbent brain tissue, thinner skulls and smaller heads, making them especially vulnerable to the health risks of AirPod use.

Joe Wiart, PhD, author of 373 publications on RF and EMF and a senior researcher for Telecom Paristech, reported that the brain tissue of children absorbed several times more MWR than adults’ brain tissue (source).

Another study reported the central nervous system absorption by children is “significantly larger because the RF [MWR] source is closer and skin and bone layers are thinner”, and “bone marrow exposure strongly varies with age and is significantly larger for children (~10×)” (source).

3. AirPods increase your risk of brain cancer. 

The WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer1, associated with wireless phone use.

4. AirPods open your blood-brain barrier.

Exposure to low-intensity RF radiation (like Bluetooth) has been shown to open the blood-brain barrier, a layer of brain cells designed to prevent toxins from reaching the brain, which may lead to brain cancer and neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases.

5. AirPods send magnetic fields right through your brain. 

The left and right AirPods communicate wirelessly via a magnetic induction field, continuously sending artificial electromagnetic energy back and forth right through your brain.

6. You’re a walking lab experiment.

AirPods have not undergone safety testing on humans. AirPods were introduced in 2016, less than a decade ago, so the long-term effects of prolonged use remain unknown.

Public health experts say that if you use AirPods or other wireless headphones, “You’re conducting a health experiment on yourself.”

7. AirPods increase your risk of hearing loss.

One in five teens will experience some form of hearing loss, which experts believe is partly due to the increased use of headphones.

8. AirPods interfere with medical devices.

AirPods and their charging cases contain magnets that can interfere with medical devices such as implanted pacemakers and defibrillators.

9. AirPods could soon track your brainwave activity. 

Wearable devices such as headphones have sensors that can pick up your brainwave activity, including your emotional states, the faces of people around you and even the PIN for your bank account.

Technology experts admit that if implemented poorly, wireless headphones (like AirPods) could become “the most oppressive technology” ever introduced on a wide scale.

10. Safer alternatives are readily available. 

Air Tube headphones are a safer alternative to AirPods and other wireless and wired headphones.

Unlike traditional headphones that transmit audio signals directly through wires or Bluetooth connections, air tube headphones use hollow tubes to transmit sound from the audio source to the earpieces, reducing overall electromagnetic field exposure from the device.
