Comment on Audiologists raise concern over headphone use in young people
meco03211@lemmy.world 3 days agoStudying sure. But this is openly speculating to the uninformed masses. Can earphones cause cancer? Unless you can prove they don’t, that is a hypothesis that could be tested. But more importantly, it’s slop for clickbait bullshit so your aunt can post that to Facebook and feel superior to all the dregs giving themselves cancer by wearing earphones. It’s useless.

eh, I don’t see a problem with this article specifically, and I don’t think your “cancer” hyperbole is a helpful comparison. If people feel like they are suffering from a similar listening/attention issue, there’s no real harm in trying to go without noise-cancelling for a while to see if the symptoms improve.
