A thing to remember is that bisphenols are everywhere, products/coatings/dyes/chemical processing, it's everywhere in the production and logistics of everything. I understand this concern with headphones specifically (heat + moisture + contact), but the stuff is in your clothes, your cooking utensils, your food packaging, the farm that grew your food, the feed troughs the cows eat out of etc.

with rigorous avoidance you can hope to reduce the amount in your body by like ~50% apparently but you can't get rid of it all because it's everywhere. unless you live off grid self-sustained and grow your own vegetables and have no plastic in your environment. so im not sure how much of a concern this study is or not.
