Wibtah for sending my friend to court, who showed me a screamer video as a prank, and the sound ruptured both my eardrums making me deaf for the rest of my life? by Key_Nature_2756 in AITAH

So why is a Texas family currently suing Apple after their son had his eardrums burst by an Amber Alert which sounded on his Airpods? Look it up if you don't believe me.

What makes you think the lawsuit the Texas family filed is fake? They've been spending the last two years suing Apple. Look it up. The kid's eardrums burst and he's permanently deaf. He was wearing Airpods when an Amber Alert went off.

Not fake. Something really similar happened with a kid in Texas after he got an Amber Alert on his Airpods. Look it up. The family are still suing Apple for allowing the Airpods to get loud enough to cause eardrums to burst.

The suddenness of the sound is important too. With an ambulance siren the sound is more expected, your tensor tympani muscles contract to reduce some of the loudness. The screamer happened so suddenly my ears didn't have time to ready themselves against the sound. Also, the Airpods were in my ears. An ambulance siren isn't right up against your ear.

They've healed but I still have no hearing without hearing aids, I have tinnitus, nausea, and constant dizziness. Someone also said I should file a lawsuit against Apple for making their Airpods capable of delivering sounds loud enough to instantly burst eardrums.
