How much radiation is there from wired in the ear headhpones (buds)
Are there any documented studies that wired headphones don't cause tumors or cancer?
How much radiation (all kinds) does wired headphones give off?
I know using my smartphone directly to my ear is not safe, and I know the bluetooth is less safe as well, just
trying to figure out about using wired headphones.

What's interesting, one of the links in the article you mentioned, the link is here:
https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/radiation-exposure/cellular-phones.html
"Because cell phones usually are held near the head when being used, the main concern has been whether they might cause or contribute to tumors in this area, including:
Malignant (cancerous) brain tumors such as gliomas
Non-cancerous tumors of the brain such as meningiomas"
I was diagnosed last year with an meningioma in my right eye, so I used to always hold my cell phone on my right side, since I'm right-handed.
I'm not saying that I'm 100% sure at the cell phone caused my tumor, but it's an interesting correlation.
Since I'm trying to reduce my exposure to radiation, that's why I'm trying to figure out how much radiation would wired headphones create.
Thanks for the link. I think I came across that a while back.

Note the use of the word "might" and one example. The overall article does not condemn these devices and there are billions on use every day.

Not sure the credibility, but seems positive that wired headsets reduce radiation.

"The headline from this study was there was little or no evidence to show an association between cell phones and cancer. Though, if you went to the appendix of the study, which interestingly was available only online, you found something unsettling. The data showed people who used a cell phone 10 years or more doubled the risk of developing a glioma, a type of brain tumor. And, across the board – most of the studies that have shown an increased risk are from Scandinavia, a place where cell phones have been popular since the early 1990s. For these reasons, the whole issue of latency could become increasingly important."
I guess only time will tell.
Thanks for your input, I'll continue to do my research to some extent.

If these smaller facts were true on a certified widespread basis, there would be WORLDWIDE news. Cell phones have been around in widespread use for decades and there is no real evidence of a causal link worldwide.

Agree and there does not seem to be any real and common body of public evidence that billions of us are doomed :)
