Are hearing aids that use Bluetooth safe for users?

Many scientists have expressed concerns when it comes to the utilization of hearing aids connected via Bluetooth.​​​​ They use the same radiofrequency radiation that has been classified as a Class 2B carcinogen back in 2011, and at quite high power levels according to testing sent to me by trusted engineers.

In one case, a Bluetooth hearing aid emitted 500-1,000 uW/m2 (microwatts per meter squared), which is way lower than cell phones, but definitely cannot be called "safe". There are countless studies showing detrimental effects at these power levels, and some hearing aids are much closer to the brain than cell phones - which means the actual level of exposure may be comparable.

Non-Bluetooth hearing aids can technically be found on the market, but are increasingly hard to find.

Some non-Bluetooth models include:

• Most options available at https://www.mdhearingaid.com/ (all non-Bluetooth except the VOLT MAX model)
• Starkey Picasso CIC i1000
• Signia, model Pure 10 NX
• Philips HearLink 9030 - Model MNR (Bluetooth can be turned off)

In the end, it's undeniable that hearing aids bring many benefits to someone's life, so this needs to be taken into consideration when looking at the risk/benefit ratio here. Still, with the current science around EMF dangers, I don't see why we would not follow the precautionary principle and avoid Bluetooth near the brain or any part of the human body.
