To Whom it may concern, PRIOR TO BEING FITTED WITH BLUETOOTH HEARING AIDS, I WAS MENTALLY FIT, AND PHYSICALLY ABLE TO PERFORM AT A HIGH LEVEL OF ABILITIES, CAPABLE TO DOING A NUMBER OF TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT. TODAY IT IS A STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY OR ACHIEVE A TINY FRACTION OF DAILY TASK'S. As a result of this Bluetooth Wireless product and manufacturer negligence, In 2023, my life was forever changed due to a brain injury causing massive damages. The physical and emotional toll has been devastating for myself and my wife. While wearing your product in 2023, I went to ER 4 times, 3 times by EMS, and 2 times in Intensive Care. I was fitted with a pair of Widex, Moment Sheer 220’s, and given no forewarning of the known risks of this product and not given any MSDS information. Following the use of these Widex ITC BT hearing aids I suddenly began to suffer silent seizures and Status Epilepticus grand mal seizures leading to brain damage. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23676765/ https://www.notebookcheck.net/250-scientists-sign-petition-warning-of-dangers-posed-by-AirPods-other-wireless-devices.413886.0.html |The failure to forewarn of these dangers has destroyed the lives and my wife and I, and causes unbearable misery since then and continues to do so, taking its toll on myself and my Wife as well. Studies on the effects of EMW’s on epileptic seizures have been done dating back to 2013 and beyond. The World Health Organization and scientists around the world have been sounding the alarm since 2009. It took my wife about 2 minutes to do an internet search and discover studies and information indicating that the BT Hearing Aids are the reason I’ve been having epileptic episodes and seizures. Yet I was not forewarned in the least, nor was I given any MSDS information, Which Widex tells me doesn’t exist for this product. I am now EMF sensitive to Wi-Fi /5G/Bluetooth etc. I cannot sleep under these EMF’s without being deathly ill when I wake up. Wi-Fi is all around me and I cannot escape exposure. This now triggers silent seizures that make my life a living hell. Many days have been spent non-functional and in extreme misery. I end each day terrified of what I will have to endure the next morning/day, then the misery begins. I open my eyes and begin my medication needs, while the hypertension grows and that triggers epilepsy and silent seizures. Nausea from my gut to my throat, dizziness and so much more, destroying all quality of life and replaced with extreme misery. The brain damage/Injury I have suffered from using Bluetooth hearing aids make living in today's world unbearable, and a constant attack on my well-being and quality of life. I lost my job when my boss learned these hearing aids had been causing me to have seizures. With that I lost a $500,000.00 life insurance policy. I have been evaluated by the Social Security Administration and found totally disabled and unfit to handle my own finances.
