Air tube radiation free headsets

mark
Hi,

I am new to the forum. My name is Mark.

I suffer from a mild degree of EHS, when I speak on the phone I get a tingling feeling on my face and hands.
The headaches occur after a few minutes. I searched on google for a solution.

I read that an air tube radiation free headset can help, so I did a little research and got one from Smart&Safe
I have to say that it actually helps.

I do not have to hold the phone to my head so the tingling sensation stopped both head and cheek.
I do not want to advertise anything because that usually gets people upset although I really recommend looking in to this. If it helps me it will help you.

Mark

Glad to hear the air tube headset worked for you, Mark.

For my MP3 player, I tried many different earbud/earphone options, including
every "air tube" option available.  I rejected all of the air tube options, because
they caused me symptoms as well (just in the chest, where the speakers are,
not in the head).  Also the sound quality was bad.

The "winner" of my trade study was a set of UrbanEars Medis:

I have very few symptoms from these... none if the volume is turned down
low enough.  And these can be used for MP3 players or cellphones.

They are really just like any other earbuds, except that they have something at the
top that holds the earbuds securely into the ear (so they don't fall out).

They don't get shoved far into the ear canal (like a lot of things these days), so you
also have an awareness of what is going on around you (which is something
I wanted, and I think I only tried earbuds that worked that way).

But really, I was just looking for something that caused the least amount of
ES headaches, pain, etc.  And of the ones I tried, these won (and for me, were
even better than the air tubes, which I think are falsely advertised as "radiation
free")

Also, here is a YouTube video that shows how these fit into the ears:

Hi Marc,

try this link from their website - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdyfmA8yxlQ

There is no metal conductor from the capsule to the ears and transmits acoustically sound through hollow tubes. I asked a doctor about radiation from the capsule, he said that radiation near the chest is substantially less dangerous that the ear canal and brain.

Marc,

Forgot to mention that if the speaker is in the ear it will conduct radiation through the metal wiring. So I do not know how the headset you showed can block radiation.,

Still, I was getting immediate chest pains from using the air tubes.  I get
no pains at all from these airbuds.

Well, I never said that it blocked radiation.  I said that I got the least amount of
symptoms from using them.  I think it's pretty well known around
here that there is a huge variation among products in causing symptoms
that cannot be explained by simple theories of what is good and bad
for you.  For example, you can have one laptop computer that is
intolerable while another seemingly similar laptop causes no symptoms.
Yet, in theory, they are both laptops and should be the same.
