iPhone in Canada reported that AirPods Pro eartips caused ear infections and allergic reactions in some users.
Symptoms improve when AirPods Pro is stopped
According to iPhone in Canada, ear infections and allergic reactions are reported only on AirPods Pro users.
“For months, my ear holes became itchy and painful. I ended up with pus and a scab. Eventually, I had an online visit to prescribe my medication,” said one user. I am reporting.
The user initially attributed it to sweating on an Apple Fitness + cycling workout.
I took a break from wearing the AirPods Pro for about a month and a half, wiped the main unit with alcohol, and then put it back on again, and the ear hurts again, so the user thinks that the cause is the ear tip of the AirPods Pro.
Reported that wearing AirPods (2nd generation) will not hurt
The user says the ear holes are clean and that wearing AirPods (2nd generation) doesn’t hurt your ears.
However, it was reported that it wasn’t until November 2020 that I received a free replacement AirPods Pro that included a new silicone eartip that I started to hurt my ears after wearing the AirPods Pro. It is explained that there was no problem with using the ear tip (genuine product) for over a year.
The user said similar events could be seen online, and told him to try third-party eartips and keep them clean, such as by regularly disinfecting AirPods and charging cases. ..
