Yeah, the whole concept sounds to me like "let's fire a lot of high energy beams into a crowd, it will be fine".

I’m firmly convinced that a lot of the acoustic tricks that AirPods Pro do to achieve noise canceling involve ultrasonic harmonics, perhaps unintentionally - and this has created an epidemic of tinnitus among their users.

Big accusations require strong evidence. Please provide them, if you have them.

I'm not an expert. 99% of my “knowledge” about ultrasound is from the posted article. Your thought process around AirPods makes no sense to me.

I would be very surprised if active noise-canceling systems would produce sounds higher than 20KHz.

Excuse me, are there sources I can read more about this?

[cadamsdotcom]

If there aren’t, please don’t spread the rumor. You might accidentally trick people into thinking it’s true.

Big claims require big evidence, and so far, this has none.

That’s exactly why I was asking for sources.
