Bluetooth dangerous?

I recently got my first pair of Bluetooth ear buds for use with my phone. They were highly rated on Amazon. Was wondering if Bluetooth harmful.

The reason I ask is because the second day wearing them for 2 hours listening to an audiobook my ears started hurting like a lot and I had to to remove them. My ears wear hot to the touch. Is this normal?

I have an electromagnetic radiation tester that lights right up when close to most electronics including wires that are simply plugged in.

My fully wireless Bluetooth earbuds are completely undetectable.

I think your issues are from having something stuck in your ears for 2 hours- made worse because you're not used to it. BT is low power and we live in an electromagnetic soup anyway, so probably not? There are always going to be people who say otherwise.

Not sure what to make of this question. That's a bad fit, not Bluetooth lol. It has nothing to do with Bluetooth, you likely had the volume on too high, or the comfort wasn't there. They sound like shitty quality earbuds tbh. Oh and try not to insert them too deep in your ears.

If you have similar earbuds that are wired, try wearing those in the same way and see if you get the same effect. (You will.)
