Ask HN: AirPods Pro 2 causing tinnutus?

I've used different kinds of headphones, including AirPods Max, for hours, the whole day.

However, my tinnitus has started after about a month I've purchased AirPods Pro 2.

There are many similar reports on the internet.

My volume level is set to minimum (75db) and I don't listen to music often, however my ears have started to ring on a constant basis like I've been to loud concert recently.

Have you noticed something similar with your pair of APP2?

I have the exact effect with app1, but only when noise cancellation was used. No matter the volume. After a couple of days without using the ear phones it normalizes.
