In 2022, a Texas family filed a lawsuit against Apple for damaging their son’s hearing after an Amber Alert went off while he was wearing Airpods. According to Google, the maximum volume of phone headphones is around 105 decibels. The family are claiming that the son now requires hearing aids after his eardrum ruptured.

Is this plausible?

    Is there any actual evidence in this case? Is it easy in Texas to fake a claim like this?

      No idea. Don’t know anything about the case, nor any texas specific lawsuit issues.
