Fun fact. In North America you can get your pilots license at 16 in Canada and I believe the US, and yet there's been nothing reported there? So nope still don't buy it.

And where do you think ANC tech was developed? Bose literally made their name in aviation headsets.

"Noise-cancelling is dangerous in general" is something you read into the article. It's not actually there. What it's saying is "young people should watch their use of noise-cancelling headphones as the auditory system needs exposure to noise to properly develop". That's it. It's a "young people, have an eye on this" thing, not "burn your headphones".

Your still listening to someone just shouting into a microphone. Why should I take them seriously?

Wow dude you are really something. I think you are being a troll, no one could be that daft.

Because I'm not going to listen to some random "expert" without peer reviewed literature?

Yeah, no.....

Again, as numerous others have repeated… the experts are suggesting peer reviewed studies should be done. lol.

So why is that in the news then?

That'sy entire point. It doesn't belong in news it belongs in academic settings because that's what it's a call for.
