Original Note:
The claims made in the video are false. Current evidence does not support the claim that AirPods or other Bluetooth earbuds are harmful to brain health. They are considered safe for normal use based on the levels of non-ionizing radiation they emit. https://factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.34KB2DJ https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL2N2OD0WO/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/08/10/fact-check-context-missing-claim-health-effects-airpods/9661778002/ https://fullfact.org/health/Can-AirPod-radiation-cause-brain-tumours/ https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/aug/04/instagram-posts/theres-no-evidence-radiation-emitted-apple-airpods/
