A member asked:
Thinking about buying in-ear headphones with neodymium magnet in the 'in-ear' part. is that safe for the brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe (not) . . .: They're currently considered safe enough to be sold. Whether that will hold true in a few years to decades when more information becomes available is impossible to predict. However, we would warn you against turning up the volume too high which could damage your ears. Also we warn you against turning up the volume so loudly that you can't hear noises around you and thus increase accident risk.
