One question we get frequently here at Hedron Life Source is "Are Bluetooth headsets safe?"
The honest answer: nobody knows for sure yet, and we think it's sensible to use them less.
Here's why:
- Bluetooth uses radio frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band, the same band as Wi-Fi and microwave ovens, at far lower power.
- Other devices that use RF energy include cell phones and Wi-Fi routers. Research on what everyday RF exposure means for health is still debated.
If you're a consistent Bluetooth headset user, keep Bluetooth on all the time, or use it for your keyboard, speaker, or car, here's what you can do:
1: Keep Bluetooth in the "off" position on your phone when you're not using it.
2: Limit the amount of time you use Bluetooth accessories.
3: For kids, wired headphones are a simple default.
4: For long calls, choose wired earbuds, an air-tube headset, or speakerphone.
If you'd like a reminder to put the phone down now and then, a Hedron Device Harmonizer on the back of your phone is designed as exactly that kind of cue. It doesn't block or reduce EMF; the habits above do that.
