Bluetooth is faaaar lower power than wifi and cell signals.
However, you are putting them even closer to your brain and for even longer time frame.

Buds (even at low volumes) are well known for contributing to hearing loss far more than just listening to music from speakers at even modest volume. Even worse, people often workout while wearing ear buds and the first place your body tends to cut blood flow during exertion is your ears, making the problem far worse.

Think there's a lot of deaf old people now, just wait.

I still think about this once in a while but I continue to use mine. I think there's still some fear around the CRT days about dangerous radiation from consumer electronics and microwaves will always be microwaves. I don't think it's actually dangerous, and even if you do, I feel like cutting wireless buds out of your life hardly even begins to address the issue.

the _inter _ bud_  communication part goes straight through the brain. this worries Tp4.

The CRTs did cause brain and eye cancer, but mainly to those television camera operators with CRT viewfinders which were right up against the eye for several hours a day.

A surprising source of radiation in the home are air purifiers.   Sitting beside one may be worse foe your health than earbuds.

I took a look at this one since I only remember seeing things about the ionizing function in air purifiers, and I think that's mostly the case. Seems like it's a pretty average appliance otherwise.

life causes cancer

Living a whole food plant based lifestyle greatly reduces your probability of cancer death.

You'll still die, but not from cancer.
