I’m curious, did the amount of time you used go up significantly with the airpod pros? I enjoy mine so much I use them for multiple hours every day, which is quite a shift in usage compared to the other awful earbuds I would use before.

Yes, most definitely hence why I also began to wonder, if the increased usage time may come with caveats.

This is just a thought, but I pondered that the noice-cancelling is further worsening ear health. I'd argue that AirPodsPro NC causes this because it feeds additional sound in (ie. cancelling) which takes an extra toll on your hearing. Again, just a thought. I have no science to back this up.
