I started getting spasms of my tensor tympani muscle around the time I began using AirPods with noise cancellation. Could hear it clearly and had a doc visually confirm.

Correlation not causation, but weird enough that a stopped using them.

Interesting same thing happened to me - a very strange sensation. I was using Galaxy Buds every day for work and have since stopped using any earbuds and the issue has pretty much gone away. Can’t say for sure it was the buds but… felt correlated enough that I’m wary to use them again.

If it was the buds maybe they caused temporary harm while the Apple ones are causing lasting harm. To date Samsung's innovations haven't been like Apple's butterfly keyboard. I have Samsung buds and they are pretty impressive but I think if they were more powerful it would be weird.
